I like it as is. Fills all the holes it was supposed to and gives incentive to some neglected modules/practices. My use of it would be an alts ship as an escort in a sanctum or DED site. Repairs, and DPS support with drones. The less clicking on my alt while on site the better. Nice passive performer for me. Will load it with lasers for the projection of an Apocalypse, Sentries, Cap transfer, and Remote armour repair. Maybe remote tracking in the mids for my mains ship beside it.
Believe, its primary role would be in a worm hole or far away place. Nothing says self sustainable like lasers and huge drone bay. Great solo ship as well as fleet.
I am not in favour of increasing the remote repair modules range. It already has a bonus to repair amount...range on top of that would be OP. Besides, train up your Heavy Repair Drones. With a base range of 48Km should be able to repair a friendly in need if you respond in time, then send back out your sentries. That should be enough range for a Battleship with repair as ONE of it's functions, but certainly not it's primary. That's what Logistics are for. Stay close to Mother if your under that much fire.
Like the scanning bonuses, and I breathed a sigh of relief when you decided against a covert ops cloak on a battleship. Cloaks are over used as it is, in my opinion. Be nice to see it in action in incursions, WH, fleets, and roaming for ghost sites.

Interesting...If it had jump bridge capability or black ops cyno capability might work. Not in favour of more invisible ships. Think its for ghost sites, not your regular relic or data.
I concede it doesn't make sense to roam in one, especially in hostile territory. Cyno capability might serve its purpose well, better than a covops battleship, would be way too OP. No battleship is supposed to run alone really. A BS without support is well...BS.

SoE = Exploration. For the sake of the whole purpose of Rubicon and ghost sites the hack/relic bonuses I hope will stay. (hack/relic are not probing bonuses). could cyno it in for a ghost site after probing a ghost site or whatever. Please, range of weapons vs. range/power of repairs. BlackOps on a Nestor might mean the death of T2 Blops BS, or making it irrelevant/obsolete. At least making a T2 less potent. Blops cyno, if nerfed on the nestor might do the job, but should not be as efficient as a T2. Figure, it has to fit the factions mandate. How you fit it should be what its good at...which it has potential as DPS, chaining tank, and ghost site dominator. Drone bays give it great funtionality and possibilities. I know the final product will be balanced and a perfect fit for its niche roles.

do u guys not know how this game works? the only requirement to be able to be bridged through a black ops is to be able to fit a covert ops cloak. if you cannot fit a covert ops cloak you cant bridge through, simple as. so forget about such crazy thoughts.
Got to start thinking outside the box. i.e. warp bubble immunity, bastions EW immunity, etc. Come on! I know your smart enough!

Being able to respond to a cov op cyno would allow it to keep its role as an explorer of relic, data, and ghost sites. It addresses the problems of vulnerability jumping gates. (MJD, warp stabs, and Target breakers do some good in transit). I agree it should be a 'welcomed' ship, as opposed to a true black ops ship that 'welcomes' a fleet.
covops frigate scans a ghost site, lights a covops cyno, Nestor appears, runs site, waits for a cyno back. It's cargo hold isn't enough to unbalance the game. Like obsolete JF or even Rorquals. These are of course just brain storming ideas... GÇ£You see, in this world there's two kinds of people, my friend: Those with loaded guns and those who dig.-áI dig.GÇ¥ -á- Clint Eastwood, misquote. |

Guys, its an SoE ship. It's not supposed to be a meat grinder. It's supposed to be built by Nuns for crying out loud. Supposed to be discreet and durable. High minded goals is the RP backstory, not petty territorial squabbles.

My conclusion: I like it the way it is! Only thing I would consider to help it in its role is maybe is having a Jump Drive. Being JD responsive without covert ops cloak would fully equip it for it's role in space. Otherwise...I like whats proposed. The graphics design is awesome too by the way, I like it. Very 2001 Space Odyssey. GÇ£You see, in this world there's two kinds of people, my friend: Those with loaded guns and those who dig.-áI dig.GÇ¥ -á- Clint Eastwood, misquote. |

Yeah I hear you. Might be why it needs Jump Drive. At least it would justify the cost, and skills would be needed to pilot it right. I don't think it should be a true black ops though...I get it would be nice to portal in SOE frigs and cruisers, but would be used on the battle field too. Not just for exploration. Wouldnt impact JF's too much I dont think. I don't know what to tell you about Worm Holes...

After reading all this, I am almost certain that the ship that is produced will be mentally deficient. (But not the R word, CCP doesn't like that). GÇ£You see, in this world there's two kinds of people, my friend: Those with loaded guns and those who dig.-áI dig.GÇ¥ -á- Clint Eastwood, misquote. |
