Battlecruisers are great versatile ships in PVE and PVP but there isnt many of them. :(
Simple thread asking for another tier, maybe a lower or higher one. And hope that some people will support me. :)
A racial role would be good, such as caldari - EW, gallente - sensor damp, armarr - tracking disrupter, minmatar - target painter.
What I would really like is a gallente drone based battlecruiser. I REALLY want one.
And dont tell me about command ships, I have no intention of training for 3 months to get a ship it will take me another 3 months to earn :P.

The devs have already said they'd like to get another one in, because of the success of the first lot. At the moment, I believe they're scheduled for Kali. ----------

Although there seems to be some agreement on useing the ferox as a missile boat, i think its important that the caldari 'new wave' of ships are rail boats. It seems to me to be a more natural progression to go from an advanced version of a current weapon, to a hyper advanced theoretical weapon.
I have some sort of genetic defect that makes my sigs too big :( |

Well, going by the placeholder stats, everyone is getting what they want.
Caldari is a missile boat with 7 Launchers (more launchers than a Raven )
And Gallente has a large drone bay and 5 highs. so it looks like a Mini Domi

Please don't refer to the Ferox's turret bonus in the plural, it only has one. 10% optimal bonus per level. The other is a shield resistance bonus and finally its special ability of 99% CPU reduction in gang warfare modules. ------------------------- In need of Mod domination Just a second, I'll find my T2 Whip --Jorauk |

Don't really see why we need a teir 2 BC. They already can outperform battleships in a lot of situations, they are cheeper, and they pack a punch. I feel a typhoon at BS lvl 5 is less satisfying as a Cyclone at BC lvl 5 now that RMR really boosted the BCs. We shall see though... maybe the matari BC tier 2 will be nice. As for caldari getting a 7 laucher high slot BC... its needed. Heavy missiles on a ferox are lack luster but a neccessary evil. 7 with a bonus... would simply rock my socks.

tbh it's impossible to tell from the item database. however, if it was following progression then yes, it would fall into the Omen/Zealot/Geddon tree.

For another generation of BC I think it would be nice to see somthing slightly difference.
Example would a class of BC that has a slightly lower tanking ability and fewer slots but gets a special bonus for reduced fitting of BS sized weapons.

Ideally the new Caldari BC would be just like the current one except a missile damage bonus in place the hybrid range bonus.
The Galente ought to get a little drone bonus I guess but I have no idea what to do for the Cyclone. I guess it would be nice to have a resist bonus in place of the booster bonus, but that a pretty minor change.

this is how id like to see tier2 bc-s Caldari: 8 high, 7 launcher with good damage bonuses. plz no kinetic crap Amarr: get some help from khanid engineers. Shield tank, 50/50 turrets/missiles. Gallente: 100m3 dronebay with 1 bonus to thermal drones. 5 turrets with falloff bonuses. Minmatar: 5 turret/5 launcher with good tpainting bonuses.
Thats whats basically missing from each race :)

BCs are cool.I fly them often and agree that they can outperform a BS in many situations(and dont quite hurt the wallet as much when go kaboom).As soon Im done training for my mission whor..uh,pvp ishtar,Im gonna rise BC all the way to 5 most probably.I also agree in the part of a gallente drone boat,brutix already fills the role of a blaster/railboat,with the sig radius of a large POS( ).Cheap Ishtars with an uber tank,anyone?
One can only hope they dont apply same filosphy on minmatard BC as they done with the phoon,giving it a layout of 4/4 or something.
**Btw tier 2 BCS are already scheduled for Kali,look at features in this same webpage** --------- Ninja1= Pirate tactics are to board our ships,kill everyone onboard and steal our treasures Ninja2= But...we dont have any ships Ninja1= Yes,that gives us a significant advantage

Yeah right. Then Gallente should get an all round drone bonus, not just thermal. Amarr and minmatar should also get an all round turret bonus (would make blasters pretty good on Amarr ships).
Good joke, tho

I vote for a second teir Gall BC to be a drone boat too. not damage bonus, got plenty of that in Dominix and mini-dom.
its a COMMAND-type ship right? (even the T1 ones...) so give it a drone count bonus. c'mon, you know you want to. reduce the turret hardpoints so it doesn't become a uber-miner if ya must... but a drone count bonus would be fitting.
add a drone damage link thing or whatever.. and such that it works on the ships own drones when solo too.
mini-carrier ftw! set up so that it "naturally" would have the group link thing, a link augmentor, omnidirectional tracking link, and maybe like 3 medium turrets or something, maybe an extra utility slot or two... or whatever.
Vexor = mini-Dominix. make second teir BC = Mini-Carrier! (I'm thinking a hold of like 200m3 maybe... maybe more, 10x heavy drones might be a bit much, but would still want some space for alternates and EW/logistics drones... )

uh, thats just so wrong. 4/4 turret/missile hardpoints would be much better. Slot layout is good aslong as it gets 5% to shield boost. 10% to target painting optimal would be great second bonus.

Amarr need either a super Arb or (more probable) a omen/Zealot/Geddon style upgrade....  DPS all the way

These are not T2 ships, so no khanid bull**** for amarr. Also Minmatar can not have EW bonus while the others have weapon bonus'. And definetly NO for another caldari missile solo-pwn-mobile.
Tier 1 BC concentrated on the race's defensive strenghts, Amarr armor resistance, caldari shield resistance, gallente fast armor repping, etc.. So from my point of view Tier 2 BC should concentrate on the offensive side of a race. Having the ability to fit 4-5 large weapons would be very interesting.
Oh and.. new models pls

Kamikaaazi, stop. No one is agreing with you, so think about why? Think about the consequences of what you are posting, and think about how, in truth, the ships would fare.
First of all: Gallente ships get a bonus to all drones because thermal drones do 25% more damage than explosive drones. Caldari get a bonus on kinetic missiles because Kinetic missiles does 0% more damage than EM/Exp missiles.
2nd: A drone boat larger than a T1 cruiser has significantly larger drone bay than it needs to carry backup drones.
3rd: Target Painter bonus must be at the very least 7.5% to be of any use at all, and on a slow locking ship (larger than frigate) that uses turrets the effect of a target painter is mostly wasted.
4th: Some weapons must have a damage bonus to be useful, two to be on par. This is projectiles mainly, but also railguns.
5th: These are NAVY ships. Standardized, massproduced, navy ships. These aren't ships that are outsourced or specialized as the T2 ships are. This means that Khanid has no damned hand in the design process.
6th, and this is the important part: The suggestion MUST be balanced, or you will DESERVE to be flamed and called an idiot. Making one race significantly better than the others just in an attempt to get a ship that's good for that race, or to make up for other percieved injustices shows a pitiful mind which has little place in a serious debate.
Translation: 1. Rethink the Minmatar suggestion 2. Scrap the Amarr suggestion COMPLETELY 3. Alter the Gallente suggestion to fit with previous examples by devs 4. Moderate the Caldari suggestion to be on the same (lower) power level as the other suggestions you have. 5. Make sure your suggestions have an approximate powerlevel of their peers (other ship in same category)

I'd like to see the Caldari "Puma" battlecruiser.
Model it to look like a much more structurally heavy Caracal, and cut off the bottom 70% of those goofy wings. Lose the funky little chin hook too, wtf is that.
Slots look okay although i'd be satisfied with 7 high slots 7 launchers no turrets, just a big badass Caracal please!
Bonii could be similar to the Caracal (5% bonus Kinetic Missile Damage per skill level and 10% bonus to Missile Velocity per level) with a third bonus to shield boosting.
I'd never buy another ship after that :)

Right - but what's the alternative ? Unless CCP for once gives a Minmatar ship some totally unmatar bonus. Like missile bonus or ecm bonus (making matar 2nd BC something between a scorpion and a bb)

I know it won't happen, but I'm rather intrigued by the idea of making Tier 2 Battlecruisers as Mini-BS's. Only, say, three or four weapon slots, but let them be BattleShip weapons. It could make for some more interesting fleet engagements...
