I would like to see the Dominix either get fighters or become a bs logi ship with drones kinda like a mini Thanatos minus fighters. Logi Dominix 10% drone damage and HP, +15% armor, shield and energy transfer amount Fighter Dominix as is with a 25000m3 fighter bay Ideas For Drone Improvement Updated 11/30/12Catastrophic Uprising is Recruiting |

As far as which amarr battleship should be changed, I kinda like where they all are right now, but if one has to be changed, I vote apoc; the fact that it out DPSs the Rokh at all ranges > 15km is just wrong to me . . . wow those changes to the talos would be sick! whats the range we are looking at with a 10% to falloff on large neutrons with null? with two te II? blasters the new autocannon? while thats true, it would be far more vulnerable to being tackled by frigates because with no tracking bonus and no drones, a noobship could take it out. alpha it when its on low transversal? but thats also true for the other 3 ships too right? dont get me wrong i love the talos as is though i do heavily feel its op with 5 lights... Getting rid of the drones would be nice, they were put on there as a gimmick "Gallente ships use drones so this will too" and they make it a little to easy to kill frigates with.

Megathron It is a good attack BS in my opinion, with its ability to use both Rail guns and Blasters effectivly it doesn't need anything there, the only problem is it needs a bit more CPU.
Hyperion Will be a great combat BS as soon a armor tanking is fixed.
Dominix This is a good ship all around, but lacks direction. A popular way to fit it is as an utility ship putting Neuts or RR instead of guns, this could be a great way to go with it. Replace the Damage bonus with a RR bonus, Role bonus for range to RR and remove 2 turret hardpoints The drone bonus would need to be tweaked to include repair drones and maybe add 125m3 to the drone bay for that extra flight of heavy maintance bots.
Scorpion I have always enjoyed flying this ship and it performs well, what it lacks in HP it makes up for with strong ECM, so if the ECM strength bonus is lowered it will need a HP buff.
Raven Has a lot of potential but the slot layout is not very forgiving. Maybe -1 low +1 mid
Typhoon Looking forward to this being a missile ship, and a bonus to TP would benefit it well.
I do not want to comment on the other ships as I do not have enough experience with them to suggest changes. Ideas For Drone Improvement Updated 11/30/12Catastrophic Uprising is Recruiting |

Giving all the T1 BS 3 skill bonuses would give much more opportunity for differentiating them, allowing for more variety and more robust platforms without merely pumping up the slots and HP. I like this. Give the man a lollipop. I can see how this might work if it only made sense to fit ships to use 2/3 bonus' so it would mean there would be 2 or 3 quite different viable fits for the ships, but it's likely to be tricky for some ships to do this and keep them balanced. especially when you look at the likes of the rokh or abaddon, what 3rd bonus could you give to them that would be relevant without making them OP. This would be the challenge. I could see a case being made for BS being advanced and large enough to have bonuses to both their primary and secondary weapons systems. However I don't expect we will see a change like that in this first pass. But that brings you back to the current Typhoon and look what is happening to that.

I wouldh ave thought the tier 3's should be slightly nerfed if anything How would nerfing tier 3 BC change people's outlook on Battleships? tier 3 bs obviously. I think the hyperion should get a double damage bonus (and lose a gun for a utility high), basically the harb treatment Unless they nerf the tier 3 BCs to oblivion, they will always be more desirable than a tier 3 BS for fleet combat. They cost about 1/4 the amount of a BS and fly just under 2x as fast, they done have the same tank, but they are not solo ships either.
The tier 3 BC need to be balanced to be inline with the other BC, not balanced around BSs looking at the Gallente BCs the Talos flies at 220m/s the Myrmidon 145m/s and the Brutix 155m/s I think the Talos could stand to lose some speed also it should lose the drone bay, it makes it too strong against frigates.

I was playing with some basic numbers regarding the idea of a RR Dominix Removing the damage bonus and keeping the turret hardpoints at 6 you would get Neutron Blaster Cannon II with Void II charges 454.27 DPS, Current 567.84 DPS 425mm Railgun II with Javelin II charges 280.19 DPS, Current 350.24 The damage from drones would not change.
My initial thought was to give the ship a generic bonus to Energy Transfer, Shield Transfer and Remote Repair I quickly realized that would be OP, also I was suggesting a boost to the rep and transfer amount and that too would be bad so a revised concept is as follows
+10% Drone Damage, HP and Logistic Drone repair amount 5% reduction in Remote Armor Repair Systems capacitor use Role Bonus: 500% bonus to Remote Armor Repair System range
This could also be given a shield transfer bonus as well.
This would benefit the PVP world as it would make a Dominix appearing of field a surprise ship in terms of is it fit for RR or Guns or a Combination of the two.

Ultimate ehp, ultimate potential dps... This point of view contradicts to the whole tiercide idea. Why would I want to fly a cruiser, if a BS is simply superior in every aspect? Alright, it locks slower - but who cares? Why would you want to fly a frigate, a destroyer has better EHP and higher DPS. Why fly a destroyer when a Cruiser can blast one out of the sky fairly easy. Each size of ship is supposed to be good at deferent aspects, if a battle ship is no better than a cruiser or battle cruiser, there is no point in spending the extra isk to buy one.
Sinzor Aumer wrote: A feature of battleships is not their DPS (some destroyers can sport more), not their active tank (which is on par with some BC and advanced cruisers), not their buffer tank even (Proteus and Damnation are kings here), and it's not even their range (as it used to be before Tier3's). Their feature is - they have it all at the same time.
You can replace most every ship class with the one below and the statements will remain mostly true.
Sinzor Aumer wrote: And btw, battleships have unique tricks to field. Those are large smartbombs, and - guess what - heavy neuts. And now you tell me why you dont want that advantage to be emphasized in at least one Amarr BS ?
If there were not small and medium variations of those modules then they would have something unique, but alas there are small and medium smartbombs and neuts. Ideas For Drone Improvement Updated 11/30/12Catastrophic Uprising is Recruiting |

Now on to ship balancing, I really like the idea of having 4 EWAR Battleships, we've already got the Scorpion, but the other 3 races are quite left out. I agree. In that line of thinking, would they introduce a Logistics battleship for each race? Possibly a new BS, sort of like a Carrier, only BS sized and limited to the 5 drone deployment of BS's, but with Logistic bonuses. Obviously not make them overpowered as to overshadow the T2 Logi's, but make them viable as a go between from T1 cruiser Logi to Carrier Logistics. Hell we even have Frigate Logistics. Why not a BS variant? I suggested that very thing for the Dominix, Turn it into a BS sized logistic platform. Ideas For Drone Improvement Updated 11/30/12Catastrophic Uprising is Recruiting |

So I got to thinking, instead of giving gallente a boost to armor reps for there "tanking" bonus how about giving them a bonus that reflects there preferred form of tanking, hull tanking, give gallente a 5% per level to the resistances of Damage Controls.

Like Duct Taping people to a Tank to stop RPG's. Human Wave Tactics now in 3D. Body Armor has a whole new meaning. They're Gallente so they can pretend they are just forming a picket line around that Dominix, save the Space Whales. If they stuff their shirts with copies of the Geneva Convention it should provide extra layer of protection. I can see why Socialized medicine is so popular in the Federation. I think I have reinforced the fact that I tell these jokes in bulk, a head for them I'd say. I would go on cracking these hull jokes all day but my funny bone is losing structure fast. This post might give me a rep for awesome puns but the truth is I'm kind of slow on the delivery. I guess I should walk this all back and maybe do some Damage Control too. Thank you I'll be here all weak. Catch my weekend routine on alarm street. I don't know the name of the bar but you can't miss it, it's the third one down. Don't quit your day job.

When the setup almost requires 3 reps or with a bonused ship 2 reps there might be a problem. Ideas For Drone Improvement Updated 11/30/12Catastrophic Uprising is Recruiting |

What are your requirements ? I'm afraid you are looking for a temporary invincibility module instead of active tank. One X-Large ASB will tank 800 DPS, and allow over 1k DPS also. and no I am not looking for an invincibility module. Ideas For Drone Improvement Updated 11/30/12Catastrophic Uprising is Recruiting |
