Disagree.
Some of us still like to fly solo, and don't use attack BCs just for ganking. The Talos is the only attack BC which has any sort of defense against smaller ships which can't be hit by the large guns.
I'd like to see the other attack BCs get some sort of defense against smaller ships, too, although I'm opposed to just adding drones to every ship.
Perhaps, adding a bonus to small guns, too, so they can be used more effectively as point defense (although I admit to a dislike of sacrificing high slots just to fit the small guns)? Or maybe a new mid/low-slot point defense module that can only be used on BCs and larger ships? |

If the DPS of an attack BC is really an issue, then consider reducing PG rather than removing a high slot, so that attack BCs can no longer fit a full rack of T2 large guns, along with a MWD/AB. Players can then opt to fit fewer T2 guns, or to fit a full rack of T1/meta guns (which can't use T2 ammo), or fly without a prop module.
This should be enough of a nerf to differentiate them from the low-end BS, and yet not so much of a nerf as removing a high slot. |

Design flaws are meant to be fixed eventually.
The idea that a solitary battlecruiser should be vulnerable to a small gang of frigates is indeed reasonable, but it is not reasonable for a BC to be vulnerable to a single frigate. That is just absurd.
A single flight of light drones is a reasonable defense for a BC, against 1-2 frigates. Against 3+ frigates, the unbonused drones are more than likely to be quickly cleared from the field.
The fact that the other attack BCs do not have a similar defense against small ships is not a good reason to remove the drones from the Talos. Rather, it would make more sense to figure out a way to add some sort of option for a point defense system to these other ships, as well. |
