Ok, in an effort to make you realize that you gave this wet dream of a creation batshit pretty insane stats, let's just take a "constructive" look at the tank for a moment. (I will ignore the web bonus for the purposes of this post)
Doing some easy math, with 2 LSE, a DC II, and Tengu bonuses you get 110k shield EHP before you add any invulns, with amazing resists from the double resist bonus and more HP than a navy scorpion
Adding in 2x invulns for 180k EHP, with a resist profile of 78/84/84/78 (before overheat of course), not to mention that you have another 3 midslots left for whatever you like. You could get far better tank by plugging those resist holes, especially with some cheap B/C type faction hardeners, but I'm quite frankly too lazy to do the maths.
I do appreciate the motivation to post your ideas, but what you've done here is basically build upon a ship's strengths to the point where there is little reason to fly anything else in the class by just adding everything that someone wished they could have when they consider a blaster rokh (another mid, another low, more range, more tank, more mobility, more cap, etc etc)
Why would you fly a rokh when you can take this which has far better tank, better damage projection, and more slots for EW? Assuming the amarr version is built along the same lines why would you ever fly an Abaddon? Cost is a reason for some, surely, but that will not stop PVP becoming inundated with these new battleships within 6 months, in much the same way T3 cruisers have largely marginalized their HAC/CS cousins in many arenas of warfare.
In addition, every other ship or ship class in EVE has some innate weakness. Having crappy targeting range on a ship class that is obstinately designed to fit Neutron Blasters loaded with Null is not an example of this, since you wont be able to hit anything over 70km (approximately the range with Sigamp) anyways. Introducing an entirely new hull type to EVE is also opportunity to introduce new roles and new accompanying weaknesses, not just to reinforce the role of an existing ship. |
