I wonder the same.. Once upon a time I wanted to fit the Rokh that sits in my hangar to do level 4s. I've found that to be near impossible, it ends up doing less DPS than my BC Ferox, even though it has an extra gun hardpoint and more lows and mids as well.
My Ferox actually does more dps than my Rokh. I'm sure I'm doing something wrong, but I can't get a proper dps from my Rokh while fitting rails. |

You may think your Mega or Raven performs well but thats just your fleetmates picking up your slack. And fleets are useless for any useful comparison. As I have stated before, I could take any ship into a fleet fight if I had overwhelming numbers on my side and do well.
The only useful comparison is a one vs one comparison. The numbers clearly show BS as crap when compared to other subcaps. Your anecdotal "I blew up some newbs in my blob in a a raven with rockets therefore battleships with rockets are fine" is nonsense. |

1 vs 1 ships are not designed to fight outside their class for the most part. And battleships are specifically vulnerable to smaller ships. So by going '1v1 a cruiser can beat a BS' you are deliberately setting them up in the worst possible position. Battleships are a fleet vessel and are meant to be used as such. And in that role they have a number of useful positions. |

The reality is that apart from capital ships and certain dedicated fleet ships such as logis, recons, EAS and the like (some of which can stll solo like pros (curse for example)) all ship which were released at launch were designed as solo ad small gang ships.
From memory maximum gang size was 6 people at release. Not sure where the Battleships were designed as fleet ships came from but its pure horseshite lol. |

Also some battleships are fine, but only because they a) use a non large weapon system and can assign that system to a non battleship controller b) have bonuses which are non battleship type attributes (sig reduction, speed, agilty, tracking). BSs are not junk or crap, they are big, slow, heavy and absolutely clumsy, but for that they get the best dps and the best tanking of all subcaps. At least they are supposed to, if they do not then it's a problem. |

EHP over BC is not significant. EHP over T3 is non-existant, T3 have more, huge amounts more when considering mitigation. DPS over BC no. Paper DPS perhaps but actual applied DPS is what matters. A battlecruisers dps will all be applied to a cruiser. Hardly any of the BS dps will be applied to a cruiser.
Range is all they have however a attack battlecruiser has that too. So do sentries. |

Battleships are fine as is. They are a niche for PvP though. People very often use Battleships terribly. I know this because I regularly kill Battleships in something smaller. That said, I have regularly taken small Battleship gangs and trashed groups of three or four times the size.
It's about knowing how to use them. Mal pretty much has it right, it's about using big guns, high natural EHP, and lots of slots to their maximum effectiveness. Because they're not very mobile, your best using them defensively in situations where you are not the one doing the attacking or dictating the range of engagement for example attacking structures or fighting on station. Naturally high EHP, lots of slots, big capacitors and large cargo bays make BSs naturally good active tankers. And because they move slowly they rely quite heavily on their fleet members. Because they can use MJDs, you can also force people to fight within scram range (again, so long as your are fighting defensively).
They are much more 'module' intensive to fly, which can make it especially difficult for people who don't operate under stress well, or just people who don't have a great deal of PvP experience.

Yes exactly, as I mentioned they are ships of the line. You need a line to hold such as in navy combat. They will do fine in solo missioning, but really they are best with escort ships, and some BS's really are only useful in pvp fleet engagements. Though I do take my scorp on lvl4's some times, fun challenge. People complain how boring lvl4's are, but maybe they cant get themselves to train for more than one ship? ...and whichever is considered optimal under theory craft.

The mega, in it's nature as a Battleship, has a massive advantage being active tanked. There is no way, you can fit a Proteus to solo a propperly fit mega. Passive tanked Battleships are old hat, and only work now with on-grid logistics. Fit a web and scram to that mega, a MJD, and an active tank and there is nothing a proteus can do on it's own to win. It can escape, sure, and the Mega won't be able to catch it, but the opposite is also true. If your going to sit within web and scram range of a Mega, your going to die. Stray out of scram range, and you can't pin a mega with a MJD.
The natural advantage of a Battleship in active tanking, is that it has a large cargo bay for cap boosters, a natural buffer (that you don't need to add to) for some leeway in your active tank, and lots of slots. Plus, it doesn't rely on moving to keep it's tank up. Change the Mega for a Hyperion and the effect is massively exaggerated. "In the age of information, ignorance is a choice." |

Hmmm I don't know what you're thinking but if you're not using a buffer and max dps (can't do that with reppers) then you're doing it wrong imo. Mega is a in your face, blow it up till it dies or you die ship. Bleed tank maybe is okay but not relying on active reps imo.
Each to is own. In any case the point is that for a proper comparison of ability one has to measure the same things. You don't measure a Proteus buffer tank vs a Mega active tanking or you get nonsense data.

Yes, true. You do need to measure the same things to be objective. But your simply selecting a small group of things that are baised towards the Proteus. That small group is probably one of the most commonly quoted set of stats, but that is besides the point. The fact it there are an almost infinite list of things you could compare. Many of which the Mega would win on.
Examples; Can it be immune to warp disruptors (read, can it fit a MJD): Boolean Mega: True Proteus: False Total EHP when fitting for maximum active tank: Megathron wins Active tank whilst moving at mav velocity taking into account signiture radius: Proteus wins Active tank whilst stationary taking into account signiture radius: Mega wins Range: Mega wins Speed: Proteus wins.
Also, you can measure a Proteus passive tank against a mega active tank. It gets a lot more complicated but it's entirely possible. I don't have access to EFT for exact figure right now, but you can measure exactly the outcome in maths given the opportune positional situation of each ship. That is, after all, what the game does. A great many stats become irrelevant when you come down to brass taxes. The Proteus's speed for example, because it can't operate at it's max speed without allowing the Mega to leave whenever it wants. "In the age of information, ignorance is a choice." |

They do have the best tank, period, a standard T1 BS has more shield/armor/hull than a navy BC and usually has more slots for tank modules if needed, and remember that their repair modules rep a good deal more than medium sized ones. And if they cannot speed tank then they can outrange, knowing that outmaneuvering a foe rests solely in the player's hands, form fitting to piloting.
For the dps part I play mainly with railguns and large rails seem not so good compared to medium; knowing that I don't have full gunnery skills I'm not sure how well they scale with a very high level of skill, I guess the difference between medium and large become more significant even if I can't say from experience. And I don't use the other offensive systems enough to be well knowledgeable about them, so I won't say anything about them. |

The mega is a gang based ship. It shines with five man gangs to two thousand man fleets and is highly adaptable. You used none of its strengths and threw it into a gang that would have killed any subcap quickly. You chose the wrong ship for the wrong job, fitted it badly and chose the wrong target.

The mega really is a pretty terrible small gang BS. Your much better of with a Domi, or (optimally) a Hyperion if your going to 1 vs 1. So Inf really has pitched one of the best solo (I prefer the Legion, but I wouldn't say one were that much better than the other) T3s against (hands down) the worst solo Gallente BS.

Of course, it's worth pointing out that the mega isn't going to be hit with the nerfbat in the near future while the proteus' subs that bring them up to battleship stats almost definitely are. |

The mega really is a pretty terrible small gang BS. Your much better of with a Domi, or (optimally) a Hyperion if your going to 1 vs 1. So Inf really has pitched one of the best solo (I prefer the Legion, but I wouldn't say one were that much better than the other) T3s against one of the worst solo Gallente BSs.
Hyperion is a good solo ship but the mega does well in small gangs as it can be very agile and fast for a battleship and packs a massive punch with great tracking. Even before the BS and blaster changes I was roaming around in small gangs of 5 to 15 people. Join Bat Country today and defend the Glorious Socialist Dictatorship |
