Actually a 2.6 bil Golem is not particularly blingy. Nearly half that cost is in the pure hull. In terms of isk lost, you can gank a brick fitted Golem (or any Marauder) and win all day long on your isk boards. Since the hull itself costs far more to buy than the Tornados to gank it do. You might not make a profit, but I'd be highly surprised if they made a profit on a 2.6 Bil Golem also. They would have had to get better than average loot drops to do that. Slim profit if they did.
My complaint with the ABC's is that they put out the same DPS/Alpha as a BS. And strongly feel they would be more balanced at only 6 base turret slots rather than the 8 they do have. So you get the same ranges as a BS. Same sort of weapons. But slightly less DPS per ship. This would help BS keep relevant roles in the game outside of the mega blob, as often BS are getting overshadowed & edged out. |

Just goes to show, it is not what your are flying or what is ganking you. If it is shiny it will be destroyed. Novis Initiis is Recruting - Ideas for Drone Improvement"
do you know how rare that kinda kill that is 33 ships would never hit that if there wasn't that much bling bling !!!! great, so you agree being ganked is due to turning your ship into a pinata rather than the use of tier 3 battlecruisers. now the thread can be closed as the OP has seen sense.
Except ABC's still overshadow BS. Yes, BS have tank. But in a lot of applications you aren't caring about tank, which has removed a large number of roles from a BS. ABC's have the advantage of significant mobility over a BS, gaining even more in Rubicon, and that is typically what matters rather than tank. So the balance of ABC's is still a relevant point. 6 turrets may be too much of a drop, but 7? Sure you might be able to find a normal BC that out DPS's them, but not at the same ranges the ABC's can project to with Large instead of Medium turrets. Which then puts them in a much better game slot, and keeps BS more relevant underneath the huge blob level. While still leaving ABC's fine for use like they are now. Just need 8 instead of 7 (if you even needed 7 before) |
