Why don't they add a new (T2) Battleship that can fit XL weapons and has bonuses/slot lay outs that allow it to do massive damage against super capitals while being utterly ineffective and even vulnerable against anything else.
These new T2 should be compared to battleships the way stealth bomber is compared to frigates.
If anything, the counter to Capitals shouldn't come from a bigger size class but from a smaller one.
It's either that or the nerfbat against Super carriers. |

And crash the node, but mynnna is right, T2 battle ships would be to expensive.
We need a cheaper solution. |

So Idea I discussed with some corp mates.
Super Carriers right now, when they attain sufficient numbers, can out tank Battleship fleets until server crash or DT and they can out DPS Dreadnaught fleets before they can pose any significant harm.
Their problem is their ability to both tank so much, repair so much and still DPS so much without any real significant drawback.
So what about this.
Super Carriers get the ability to 'switch' between two modes, in one of them, they can sustain a lot of damage, in the other mode they get all their damage bonuses that allows them to kill other caps as quickly.
The result would be fairly obvious, in the defensive mode they can survive the current BS blops incapable of killing them quickly enough, however they wouldn't be able to kill the Dreadnaughts that would be able to kill them in this mode.
While if they go in to their DPS mode they would be able to kill the dreads quick enough, they would also become vulnerable to the subcap groups.
Not to mention certain alliances would actually be forced to bring in their own subcap fleets to support their capital fleets, instead of sending them in with minimal to no support.
It kind of actually reminds me of the current triage on normal carriers but really, something like this could be an idea. |
