Are there ANY confirmed reports that the Caldari Tier-3 Battleship will be a turret boat instead or a missile boat? |

CCP have said it will be a railboat, presumably following the merlin - moa ship line.

'Railboat' as in Hybrid correct?
Hmmm, what to do now... I dont wanna train all my turret skills to lvl 5 now.. After I got all my Missile Skills to lvl 5.

Only the Ugliest ship in game... I want a brand new - 8 High - all launcher ship - cool looking and un-stoppable.. Missiles - Missiles - more Missiles. 8 Siege in High - 6 Cruise in Mids and 5 Light Launchers in lows would be AWSOME FIREWORKS!!
Please tell me there is a new missile boat coming out.

1)So the new Tier 3 Caldari battleship will be a Hybrid Turret vessel?
2)Are there any Tier 3 Battleships that will be Missile vessels?

1) Looks like. Would kinda be cool if it was a big brother of the Ferox though, with the option to go either way.
2) Seriously doubtful. Caldari would be the only logical race to get a missile ship.

All I know is that if Caldari Tier 3 gets a range bonus i'm going to get started on T2 large rails.
Its going to be untouchable with T2 range ammo and Caldari BS lvl 5.

Looking at the placeholder stats the caldari will be the one with the highest number of missile HPs, 7/4 turret/missile, 8/3 on the minmatar, 8/1 gallante and 7/1 amarr. So no missile ship it seems.

8/3 on minmatar would be super great.

seeing as with t2 ammo and a couple of tracking computers nigh-on every ship hits out to the max locking range (250km), it's not much of an issue. It will be a good ship for people without t2 guns, but for those with there won't be much point over a megathron (which gets a damage and tracking bonus, as opposed to the likely optimal and shield resistance of the caldari tier 3).

Dmg bonus would be better than range bonus since the range bonus wont meen anything...as Sarmaul said, its nothing the Caldari railboat can do that the Mega cant do better whit t2 ammo and a coupe of tracking mods...
I remember back in the days when the Scorp had 10% range bonus, it sucked :S. But, if the Caldari t3 will have a range bonus and lots of lowslots its gonna be a awesome blasterboat :)

We will not give up until we have penetrated the rear entrance to Stain, we hope this will hurt SA to the point they start to cry.

maybe it gets 8 turret hardpoints witch would compensate a bit. and from 200km i dont think tracking is an issue with current game mechanics. it will be useful in fleetbettles.
and because of the extra slots (no need for tracking/range mods) i think it could be a good choice in place of some other BS.

8/7/5....hmmm....hmmm...longerange jammer that do terrible dmg...its a buffed up Scorp :(

actually mega would have 0.75% more damage assumeing BS lvl5. and looking at todays fleet battles where you cant even warp out easily when alligned because of lag. i would fit a tank tbh.

Time will tell but from the opinions on the Moa, and missile use on the Ferox instead of turrets i don't see why everyone wants a range bonus on the Tier 3 Caldari BS.

Burn, knave, burn. Then burn some more.
- Railguns on the tier 3 BS would fit perfectly with the scheme of the Caldari fleet.
- People who use the Ferox as a missile boat are ingrates that don't know any better. This accounts for at least 80% of all Ferox users.
- It's my theory that the eye-grating aesthetics of the Moa is what leads it to be an uncommon ship.

I just hope it won't be as ugly as the Moa.

I think it's more of a versatility thing. I love rails but with missile launchers you can very damage types and be less predictable.

god i hate the moa. its a sniper, but really, what it HAS to do, the thorax and most gal ships in general do infinatly better and more flexibly.
so if the tier3 BS is like the moa, *beep*!
also, i highly doubt the slot setup.. 7 mid? w/ shield res skill?? Um, No! that would mean that its base shield is going to be less than the scorp to compensate. tech ships get stupid numbers of mid slots, fighters get enough or too little to make skills + elite equip necessary.
also, unlike the mega, this is cal, so its going to move like a slug in space.

thorax is a better sniper than the moa eh?
why does the moa have a bonus to optimal range then?

I don't see the problem. People fly Hawks, Eagles and Moas, and those ships are good at what they do. A Caldari rail BS seems like a logical progression.

I'd like to see the BS version of the ferox..
Slot layout as said earlier (8/7/5)
8 turret hardpoints (& whatever missles)
+5% Shield Resists per lvl
+10% Railgun Optimal per lvl
Good cap, lots of shield, and a great natural shield recharge rate ala the Ferox.
Could be fun... could suck.. who knows

Drones ftw. Ferox can carry five lights.
But anyway - i'd like to see the tier 2 BCs. Rumour is the Caldari one is a missile boat with actual missile bonuses, which might stop people mis-using the ferox as a missile ship...
