Number in [ ] is tier 2 BC speed.
Talos 220 [145] Thorax 180
Tornado 225 [165] Rupture 192
Oracle 200 [150] Maller 164
Naga 195 [140] Moa 164
Why are Tier 3 BCs faster than the Tier 3 Cruisers?
This means these new BCs will be able to keep tranversal low via their speed advantage and annihilate them. Tier 1 and Tier 2 BCs already make Tech 1 cruisers virtually obsolete, the only advantage the cruiser had was speed and agility. Now the Tier 3 BC actually takes the speed advantage away from that as well.

T1 cruisers have been more or less useless for a long ass time now. They're good for funny gimmicks and slosh ops and thats about it. How about instead of complaining you get excited about how there's going to be a new set of ships that are only marginally more skill / isk intensive than cruisers, but will be super useful for PvP?
I don't disagree, I'm just asking why if they are already useless, make them more so by taking away the only advantage they had over their BC cousins.
I prefer a game of options and had hopes that cruisers would be the counter to tier 3 BCs, as they became the counter to Tier 1 & 2 BCs.

You show me a pilot that flies a Moa, and I'll show you one that has no grasp of EVE combat.
I for one am excited that the Caldari might get a combat option that isn't a Drake; because everything else in our arsenal (that doesn't make use of ECM) is either weak to the point of uselessness, or out preformed at it's role in every single way by another race's ship. I'm also quite frustrated that it looks like the Naga will be out preformed at it's role in every single way by another race's ship.
Again, this is the problem I'm trying to highlight. A Moa (and all cruisers in general) are so outclassed by their BC cousins that they are already useless. Making Tier 3 BCs faster seems to be just salting the wound. |

I mean, you *can* counter the new BCs with cruisers... you just have to fly them precisely. I just lost a blaster Talos to a Celestis on sisi because it warped on on top of me and scrammed me-- no way to track it. I mean, granted, it was a Talos (they're awful) but any of these new ships will get owned by a cruiser if you can get on top of them.
Celestis base velocity is 39 m/s slower than the Talos. If you are fitted with the same tackle and propulsion as him simply extend range to reduce tranversal to blow him away. |
