Unlike many of the aspie/autistic/ignorant folks who play&post I'm actually capable of seeing things not only from my own perspective but also from someone else's. A BC is FINE for ppl on lowish SP wo don't want or can't commit expensive ships to pvp, simply because they don't have the experience, isk or organisation. It's VERY easy for people who do have experience, SP and isk with gang links, RR and whatnot beating up **** fit newbies to state "lol BC has no role yo" but what they forget to add is "in my situation". People with a decently high IQ would probably realise this.

If you are new to the game, don't skill into a BC- just like you shouldn't skill into a BS.

People with a decently high IQ would probably realise this. The game is balanced around the assumption of perfect skills for the ship. Doing it any other way would be too difficult for the game designers. Therefore whenever someone discuss ship balance, they are discussing under the assumption of perfect or near perfect ship skills.

The on-grid mobility of some of the BS is probably nibbling a little too much out of the latter part, frigates are probably slightly more of a threat to BCs than they ought to be (single frigates, wolf packs should indeed be dangerous). The warp speed changes perhaps didn't sufficiently represent the mobility which BCs should have but it's better to play changes of that scale safe rather than have to cope with seriously overpowered choices.

For PVE, BC are acceptable to run level 3 mission more easily when in need of that early isk or for ratting in null sec.

That is what they SHOULD be able to. But the problem is that they are not like that. T2, pirate and Faction cruisers are usually too much for BC. And some BC have problems against some cruisers. Also that same niche can be read as.. anything they can kill.. is faster .. so can decide to not fight the BC. And anything they can catch... is too strong for them to tackle. Solo BC cannot kill anything that knows what its doing and its not another BC. That ends with the conclusion that BC are HORRIBLE for SOLO (or near solo) PVP and require other ships in group to cover this issue. The problem is that when you add cruisers to your gang.. they do not like to wait for BC while traveling. "If brute force does not solve your problem..... -áthen you are -ásurely not using enough!"

If you are new to the game, don't skill into a BC- just like you shouldn't skill into a BS. T1 cruisers are a viable alternative for (relatively) low SP/isk/experience players, Navy cruisers are not (terrible insurance pay back) nor are dictors and those are of limited use anyway. But Cruisers rely on kiting, something not everyone has the experience or SP to do so (T2 guns, good cap skills) and generally relies on having gang links. BC are much more straight forward and because of that much easier to use in the hands of an inexperienced low SP pilot. The real issue is that for years we're all used to BC being the go-to ship class, being awesome for just about anything. Cane and Drakes everywhere! But that wasn't good, it was in fact terribly unbalanced. Now that it's changed people go "wtf happened to these OP ships?" and in a rage of hyperbole now call them **** and useless. In reality they simply got balanced and are now just one of them options people have, nothing more, nothing less. They're not supposed to be amazing or OP, most certainly not as they were used to be. They're not funky, not special. They're cost effective workhorses for people who can't or won't use more funky stuff. they're FINE. Stop whining.

I think three changes would bring CBC's back into the metagame: 1.) Make Command Processors a Rig instead of a midslot module. 2.) Make links on grid only. 3.) Increase the warp speed of CBC's to be faster than cruisers.

Part of PvP'ing is slaughtering a target of opportunity. I don't know Chessur's style of play, but he obviously has enough experience to form his opinions. I personally find some of his proclamations untenable (removing off grid boosting will hurt solo PvP... wtflol), but he has every right to proclaim his opinion as the rest of us. The truth is, BC's are much less common now than 2 years ago, and they don't seem to match his desired play style. Many of the reasons listed are exactly the reasons they aren't utilized as much: CBCs are slow and have difficulty catching faster cruisers. The extra tank and DPS they provide is often not worth the loss of agility and speed, especially to risk-adverse gang environment where players prefer kiting over brawling.

BCs are fine exactly the way they are and work exactly as intended. Gone are the days of the BC one ship to rule them all. And good riddance. Just because it does not fit in your play envelope does not mean it is broken. But please, do cry more, i shall feast on your tears. hmmm yummy.
