At last, a new ship you can use for everyday pvp without needing to be a multibillionnaire. :)
And it would be even better with an actual link. :p |

Able to fit L guns but not enough pg for L repair stuff, I suppose that means a cruiser-like powergrid with a role bonus to weapon powergrid. And fast cap recharge, or the amarr one will run dry fast.
Sound very nice, BS-like dps and range without massive plating or active tanking. But I wonder if they really have a place in the present meta-gaming. Against another BC gang built around Hurricanes/Drakes, L weapon tracking might be too much of a problem to be compensated by a bit more dps. Against the current Abbadon blobs, the BS's buffer tank would give them an overwhelming advantage.
We'll need to do some math once the stats are known, I suppose. But I predict the shield-based ones (and Tornado in particualr) will be overpowered because the very low PG requirement of large sheld extenders and autocanons will still allow them to have a respectable passive buffer. |

Imagine the Horror, if it's a giant navitas. The screams would reach the heavens. |

The Abbadon, Maelstrom, Armageddon and Tempest will be replaced as the fleet standard in PVP when you can field 2 times as many Teir 3 BC with the same amount of isk and when your geting Alphed by the other side too the size of your EHP being 25% less realy do's not matter becouse when your geting Alphed is insta pop time for any sub cap ship.
And you can double your number of pilots in fleet by pulling them out of your hat?
Number of pilots in fleet is a finite ressource, even more than isk. If your fleet can field 100 tier3 BC to replace 50 BS, then your fleet can also field 100 BS. |
