As for the minni BS changes:
I like the direction CCP is going with the phoon. However I feel that they should specialize it more. Personally I feel that a 'Big cyclone' would be amazing for the typhoon, Make it a pure missile BS, and drop the 'versatility' BS. Versatility is a joke. Drones do no applied damage, and having split weapons is terrible. If possible I hope that CCP specializes this BS even more so into a missile setup.
Tempest
Nano pest used to be an amazing thing. It had speed, projection, and brought a platform into small gang that had 2 heavy neuts. It was a great ship. Then the tier three's happened. The tier threes (for the most part) have completely eclipsed the entire BS class. The tempest was no exception. Since the iterations of the tier 3, BS have become pushed into an extremely niche role. Sadly with the new TE changes coming our way, it seems that the beloved nano pest will once again be relegated even farther into mediocrity. With the new TE's in place it will have horrible projection, and still suffer from the fact that Tier 3 do the job so much better.
The Pest cannot brawl, as it is out classed in very way when compared to gallente BS. So I would like to ask CCP where they plan on placing the importance or usefulness of the pest- because frankly I am struggling to find one.
Mael
Again not many changes here- still a good fleet / arty ship and with dual XLASB ok for trolling bad's while brawling on gate. I don't have much to say about the ship class, as I primarily am concerned with solo / small gang. The mael is not made for this, and that's fine.
For BS in general however:
I feel that CCP is missing the entire point when it comes to the BS class. (What are they useful for?) Since the advent of the Tier 3, there really has not been a point (other than large fleet battles) where a BS is more useful than a Tier 3. The ONLY thing that BS can do is bring a heavy neut to the field. Other than that, tier 3 hold all of the cards. They have more mobility, projection, and damage. In sight of this BS have not been given a significant EHP boost, or damage boost. Personally I feel that tier 3 are breaking the game and should be removed. Because to bring BS in line with what Tier 3 are capable of- CCP would need to make some hard choices regarding base EHP / DPS of ALL BS class ships.
