Well... it takes a long time to train, so I am looking for recommendations actually. Any advice/info is much appreciated.

Depends on what you want to do. If you want to mine ridiculous amounts of ore, the apoc, megathron or armageddon are your best bets. If you want a gunboat that can put out stupid-damage, the armageddon. If you want the make your enemy **** his pants with fear of your torpedoes/cruise missiles, anything caldari or minmatar. If you want to use electronic warfare and just take your enemy apart slowly, the scorpion. If you want to have huge amounts of drones and versatility, the dominix.
So what do you want to do?

Even though I don't own one (have a Tempest) I'd say the Typhoon.
The power of combo gun/missile boats will become more evident when the missile patch hits and the Typhoon by nature is a 4/4 setup. Though I can do the same with my Tempest, the Typhoon has the added bonus of 3500m3 drone space for lots of Heavy Drones.

I love the Typhoon.
There's no attempt at styling or tarting it up. It's a big ugly death machine.
Sweeeeeet

My favorite ship is probably the Raven.. it's the ship I always wanted from the day I started playing Eve.
With missles becoming powerful finally, the Raven really is an amazing ship.
My second favorite ship is the Scorpion, probably the best PvP ship out there. If the Raven didn't look so cool i'd still be flying my Scorpion, defidently.

Scorpion.
Because it takes brains, skills, and skills to use it properly.

Unlike The Wretch who is an unabashed flavor of the month loser, the Raven is and has been my favorite battleship since I started considering flying one.
Ask anyone in my corp :) I had one about a month ago and it got blown up ;)

Being Gallente and the fact I trained Gallente and not some other race. I'm ltd to Megathron and Dominix.... hmmmmm.... 90mil or 50mil.... 90mil or 50mil.... I chose the Dominix. Not only is it cheaper. I can carry sick amounts of drones since I can deploy 8 heavies at a time (the drone bay has enough space to carry multiple replacments).

Megathron.
Only because I keep bumping into the bastards when I un-dock from stations.
Bleh.

I'm rather partial to the 1st tier battleships.. Armageddon, Scorp, Dominix, Tempest... for the simple reason that they are extremely competent machines if flown correctly .. can easily smoke a tier 2 BS if fought correctly with the skills that match the ship capabilities.. and don't cost near as much. The bonuses for the UBERBoats in my mind don't make the price difference worth it... but that's just my thots...

As someone stated before the Scorpion is your choice if you want to be successfull in scaring other pilots, just because it has a capability of crippling any other BS to 0 function rate, well if u do NPC farming be my guest and jump in an Armageddon and kill em off. Well i cant say really but according to chaos my next ship will be a raven or an apocalypse depending on how the patches turn out but i think the raven will be THE choice in making a pvpers life a nightmare.

the current overpowering of certain modules means that it is broken and bugged.
for example using stacks of shield hardeners for uber invulnerability, gone next patch.
useing sensor dampeners to cripple down enemy ships for feck all cap and slot useage, gone next patch.
the scorpion isnt broken, but the main module combos used on it are.
I think it will be much less useful next patch.

Yeah nothing wrong with the Scorpion, it's not imbalanced, midslot modules that can easily cripple another ship while using almost NO cap is imbalanced though.
Scorpion is still the best ECM ship, and still has the most powerful shields of all the battleships.. I think people will want to go ECM and 4 launchers on the Scorpion now though.. the uber tank method (my old scorpion loadout) isn't going to be nearly as effective.

Scorpion: Could put reason here but I'd be stating the obvious.
Dominix: It's versatile, it's cheap, what more do you want. I use it a lot and the more I use it the more I like it (even its appearance!)

And now for your eval of the Minmatar battleships, post patch with the projectile fixes and the missile fixes?

In the last 2 days, I've been testing setups on chaos.
Basically, lasers still rule. I asked a mate to fit his best dmg (Tempest with projs, cruise and torps). It was close, but I was able to win.
I was flying a megathron.
I wonder how it would be if I was in an Apoc.
The Dominix is really versatile atm, but in the next patch, with all lvl2 BS getting another lowslot, things may change.
I'm trying to get another BS, and I'm still between an Apoc and a Raven / Scorp. I'll wait until the patch is live for some days.

Only 3 launchers on a Scorpion, Jim.
I agree with all the rest though.

Lies. 4 launcher 4 turret, 6 high. I flew a scorpion for a long time, I know it's slot assignment. Only says three cause you probably have 1 equipped, it subtracts when you fill them in the ship info.

Next patch will indeed change alot. And my vote goes to the Typhoon/Tempest, with its versatile setup, it can easily fit for any occasion. The missiles also keep ur foe at a distance, and even bounce em away, short range players will have a big disadvantage against missiles, since they keep being pushed away. Scorpion will still be the best solo battleship, and with missiles upgraded it can be deadly too.
Its not enough to succeed. Others must fail. |

I like my megathron now, and I have a feeling I will like it even more next patch. :)
It looks pretty good, it holds enough drones, and it has lots of big guns, and even some missiles if you want them.

well then
As you can see. Every battleship is good :)
Seriously. You have to make a choice for your first flavor of Battleship. Because while some rule in mining, they make poor warships. And vice versa.
Amarr ships
Excellent fighting ships, Excellent miners
Gallente
Ok fighters, Good miningship
Caldari
Excellent fighters, Very poor miners
Mimatar
I'm having difficulties deciding here. They do not make good miners, but you can fit 6 lasers on a tempest which is decent. But then again. Its an expensive ship to have as a miner. I think you can have pretty fun fighting in one. You just have to outfit it right. so...
Good fighter, below average miners
And this is opinions of course. Not hardcore facts. (But I'm right of course, as usual. Ok.. close this thread now. I've said all there is to say. aight... wrangler..? you there man?)
