Good idea!
These are going to be so different from normal BCs that I'm not sure it makes sense to keep the name. Why not put them under a new category (someone suggested the name "Monitor" for this kind of ship), while keeping the skill requirements? |

That does not mean they will tank like battlecruisers, the dev blog did not put a limit on how little they will tank, only on how much they can tank. Yes, but the wording is indicative of a rather flawed thinking: they get the benefit of BS guns, and the supposed price for this is GÇ£not a BS tankGÇ¥ which is not a price at all.
The price would be the reduced tracking compared to tank. These tier 3 BCs should be easy prey for HACs and recons. |

Tier 1 BCs are already useless, as are most of the lower-tier cruisers and frigates. Personally, I'm worried CCP is reinforcing the tier concept with these ships, when you should be removing it. |

Personally, I'm worried CCP is reinforcing the tier concept with these ships, when you should be removing it. well it's normal given they all have nice tech2 variant, et a noob will never have a reason to test those little things, given he will quickly have a better option. that's sad, but it would need a total revamp of all ships to make this better, and i don't think a good result is possible...
It's not the T2 variants, it's the tiers: cyclone vs hurricane, prophecy vs harbinger, etc.
Tier 1 and 2 BCs have the same skill requirements (to fly effectively), and, once fit and rigged, have very similar costs. But the tier 1 BCs have less slots and fitting, so they are much weaker and generally only flown by noobs, or by people trying to look like noobs to get fights.
It would be so easy to give the tier 1 ships the extra slots and PG/CPU to become competitive, and recover 4 perfectly good ships. |
