Tech 2 Battlecruisers
The Battlecruiser will probably be the Command cruisers that have extensive leadership abilities. We'll probably improve the leadership abilites of the current Battlecruisers at the same time. Oh, and of course combat stuff in them too.
Given that the viziam prophecy you can see here has 6 turrets and an extra low - for a total of 7 - that gives it the same raw dps as a zealot. Would you like to go on about how theyre going to be logistics ships?
So your eagle is better than your ferox... aaaaand your point is? Would you like a cookie?
Will I be training BC to 5? Probably, depending on what T2 BCs are like.

Now if these changes go live, what saving grace does the ferox keep? People realistically only train BC skill to lvl 4, so you would only get 40% range and 20% resistances. Compared to that, EVERY eagle pilot, even if he just learned to fly the ship 5 min ago will have 60% range, 25% to resistances, ONTOP the already high HAC resistances and 5% more damage.
You mean, apart from the fact that the ferox costs less than half, takes 1/10th of the time to train, is fully insurable, and any tom **** & harry can buy the bpo and churn them out for his corp?
A prophecy already does virtually the same raw base dps as a zealot with the same full of guns on, but at shorter range; a situation repeated for ferox vs. eagle; heck, a brutix outdamages a deimos with the same guns & number of dmg mods.
Same or more damage than a hac, for less isk far less training fully insurable with less defense and a bigger signature, and slower. The ships position in the pecking order is fine. They *should* be inferior to a hac overall.
Some aspects need a boost - fitting is covered already, and im hoping signature and agility will be coming. What does this have to do with an Eagle-Ferox comaparison?
Ofc a HAC pilot will fly his hac over a T1 BC, thats kind of the whole bloody idea of T2 ships, do you realise that? You know, that theyre considerably better than t1 ships? That ring any bells?
Might i remind you that other, non-gimped HACs can take on battleships? Given that it should be apparent that theyre going to be better than a BC as far as combat performance goes. Are you complaining about that? In fact what exactly are you complaining about?
