People aren't making money faster. OTEC is skewing the values on that graph. This increase in build cost will further reduce battleship usage, even with the buffs they have coming. |

This is coming from the guy whose alliance has a full reimbursement policy? When's the last time you actually paid for a PVP ship? |

It is a balancing factor. Why pay 3-4 times maybe even 5 times more considering rig and fitting costs on a Battleships which have fairly niche usage where its not a whole lot better than general battlecruisers in that niche? Increasing the cost of Battleships does very little to fix the BC vs BS situation where 9/10 players will fly a BC over a BS. Well by that logic the price of titans should be cut in half. Why use them when a dread does more DPS? I mean, 9/10 pilots will fly a dread instead of a titan. Hell, probably more like 99/100
Reductio ad absurdum. Dreadnoughts do not offer jump bridges or a 5 million m-¦ ship hangar / 112 thousand m-¦ cargo space. You also don't have to lock them in place for five minutes to deal that damage and can deliver a burst of three million damage up front at the cost of only locking it in place for thirty seconds.
Stop embarrassing yourself. |

Titans do not offer the ability to dock or the ability to shoot anything smaller than a capital either. Do you think the doomsday and jump portal gen are really worth the 110b more a titan costs?
For the jump portal generator alone people would place down 110b, never mind the ship that comes with it. And "40 million ISK is a trivial amount", how would you know? You don't have to pay for your ships. For those who aren't as risk averse to only fly battleships in fleets big enough to need more than four wing commander characters, it matters. |

For a guy who hasn't lost anything bigger than a harbinger in the last year, you sure seem knowledgeable about the costs of big burly battleships.

Point proven. Thanks for saving me the effort. |
