i thought prices for BS's would be DROPPING

10% more then T1 or LESS then T2 would be nice

Come on, you don't do your argument any favors when you say 425's have more CPU than any other weapon....by a measly 6 CPU versus Cruise Launcher or less than 10% (only 9 more than Tach's). While Tach's require near DOUBLE more PG than 425's at 4125 versus 2310 for 425's. Remember Tach's use TRIPLE the cap as 425's as well.

Nobody is saying Beams shouldn't cost more cap or more PG, but there is a football field of difference between mega-beams/tach's and the other weapons when it comes to PG and Cap and we're just asking for this difference to be lowered so that these weapons actually get used by something other than a Nightmare since it is the only one that can actually fit them without gimping their fit beyond belief that they might as well use Scorch and save the tears.

If Tach's were as OP as you claim we would see them used more...or at all especially in fleet environments where cap isn't as much an issue and you wouldn't see Amarr ships fitting Scorch nearly 100% of the time (only taking a break to fit Arties).

Let's make comparison fair, shall we? What is these 6 CPU make in percentage of CPU available on battleship?

No. Current Neuts are 2000 powergrid for a meta 4, 2250 for a meta 5.

Thank you for your work CCP Rise!
May I know what do you think of the 6 turret + 7.5/level damage plan, for Abaddon or Apoc?

I think the problem with it is that the Abaddon is strong enough already (as proven on TQ) that giving it extra turrets right now would be difficult to justify, and the Apoc doesn't have a damage bonus to use - so doing this for the Apoc would mean reworking it completely around a new damage bonus.

I think one less turret is the right way to go. It will help its cap, make heretical 1400 arty fits go away (probably) and give Amarr gunships so much needed utility high slot for some spider tanking pve action.

The ship was in solid balance (almost perfect in my opinion) but seeing as other races have no fitting troubles or capacitor troubles of this magnitude some Amarr love is needed. Also this resistance nerf is hurting it a lot and some armor hp buff is in order.

And rework Armageddons art if you insist so much on turning it in a drone boat since it looks nothing like one. Its a slim tube connecting engine and cockpit. Its just silly.

being able to fit a half-way decent ammar BS whose hull doesn't cost as much as a capital WOULD be nice.....just saying, you know, what a rational person would expect.....

You can fit all amarr boats now, what I worry about is how CCP are dumbing down the game. Making it easy so the current gen gamers can play it without fear of loss, or having to think very much.
I can remember my first Abby 5 years ago, I spent days trying to get all my tachys to activate...

Care to provide an example fit then and we'll compare it to an analogous fit for the other races and compare the fitting costs and cap usage, you know... instead of complaining about walking to school in the snow?

Just out of curiosity, how ideally would a tach Abaddon measure up with say, a fleet fit Rokh? Theory crafting using modified EFT files seems to allow megabeam (originally put megapules here, total failure on my part) usage on a 120k EHP fit with meta MWD. Damage being on the Abaddons side to 50-60km for the fits I came up with. I'm sure others could come up with better comparison fits so I thought I'd ask for help in that area.

Offhand, I don't have specific numbers, but from my familiarity with the 2 ships I'd put my money on the Rohk.

Why is that, from just the little I've stated?

You'd be at much less EHP in the Abaddon due to having to fit PG and cap mods where the Rokh could more focus on tank in the mids and dps/range in the lows, probably 2 PG mods since one is just for the beams which is the nature of most of our complaints. No matter how many cap boosters you had in the Abby I'm not sure you'd last long firing while blasting the MWD so the Rokh would have it easier there. Things get even worse for the Abby if you wanted to active tank but I'm not sure if you meant in fleets or not.
