To everyone who is complaining that the price makes battleships somehow "worse", I have news for you: price isn't a balancing factor. hth. |

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 |

I have news for you, the other forums speaking of the changes do not warrant the price increase that the community will feel in their pockets. This will no doubt make battleship use even less common. Perhaps you should factor that into your view of balance vs cost because, cost is a balance factor when compared to other hulls. Though I do not see you as the type as being able to figure that out, when everyone else is currently saying the opposite as you.
It's 40 million isk. It's a trivial amount |

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.
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? |

Let's assume a plex is 500m for $15. If a BS hull goes up 50m, that's a buck fifty, which is what, 10 minutes at work if you're working at a burger joint, or less than a minute of work if you have a decent job.
Hell, even in eve it's like an hour of level 4s if you're bad at them. It's fairly trivial to pull in 200m/hr in this game, which would make it ~10 minutes.
You guys are getting worked up over a change which is essentially nothing. |

Sure, go for it. We'll still give them away to new players |

It's a trivial amount 40 million trivial, so lets add 40 million to all ships and fittings,rigs and see how trivial it really is..Oh wait, not so trivial after all is it?
I'd be fine with that. Adding a bill or so to my carrier doesnt make me flinch in the slightest. |

To be fair, I've lost two carriers this year too, but these days I mostly fly supers. |

The HBC doesn't actually have much tech, and if you read the patch notes they fixed it. hth. |
