Meeko Gloom	Posted - 2006.04.27 19:07:00 - [1] Are any around yet, and are the Tier 3 BS pics offical? thanks -------------------------- Guns dont Kill People Drones Do
Cypherous	Posted - 2006.04.27 20:49:00 - [2] Not that i know of and no they haven't been officially set as the final images. O RLY?! --Jorauk Way cooler than Jorauk - Cortes
Eximius Josari	Posted - 2006.04.27 20:50:00 - [3] Still concepts, tbh they look too much like capital ships and not enough like BSes. Sov 2.1 T3 BS
Viktor Fyretracker	Posted - 2006.04.27 20:51:00 - [4] in naval terms a Battleship is a capitol ship.
Eximius Josari	Posted - 2006.04.27 20:52:00 - [5] If CCP wanted to be accurate, yes. But they don't, so no. Sov 2.1 T3 BS
Razin	Posted - 2006.04.27 20:58:00 - [6] Originally by: Eximius Josari If CCP wanted to be accurate, yes. But they don't, so no. If CCP wanted to be accurate about what? Some sea/gravity locked navy's terminalogy long time ago and very far away (in EVE terms)?

Some sea/gravity locked navy's terminalogy long time ago and very far away (in EVE terms)? Has nothing to do with the medium the ships use, its their role/size/value in the fleet. Sov 2.1 T3 BS
Razin	Posted - 2006.04.27 21:02:00 - [8] Originally by: Eximius Josari Has nothing to do with the medium the ships use, its their role/size/value in the fleet. So how does not calling a BS a capital ship change it's role?

So how does not calling a BS a capital ship change it's role? If we're going by naval tradition, ships break down more like this: Eve - "Real life" Carrier - Carrier Dreadnaught - Battlehip Battleship - battlecruiser Battlecruiser - heavy cruiser Cruiser - Frigate Destroyer - Destroyer Escort Frigate - Torpedo Boat Or something like that. Names don't matter that much so long as you're consistant in your universe. In Freespace cruisers were the smallest ships, frigates very large and corvettes kickass beam wielding thingies. The easiest way around this it to invent your own class names alla Battlestar Galactica. You can't complain about the term Battlestar because they invented it! --- Our greatest glory is not in never failing, but in rising up every time we fail. - Emerson
Razin	Posted - 2006.04.27 21:20:00 - [10] Originally by: Hllaxiu If we're going by naval tradition, ... The "naval tradition" that you speak of existed several thousand years ago in EVE universe. Time enough for the terminology to evolve. What is a "capital" ship's role in RL anyway?
Nikolai Nuvolari	Posted - 2006.04.27 21:25:00 - [11] Originally by: Hllaxiu If we're going by naval tradition, ships break down more like this: Eve - "Real life" Carrier - Carrier Dreadnaught - Battleship Battleship - battlecruiser/AEGIS cruiser (depends on the timeframe, WWII vs now) Battlecruiser - Light cruiser Cruiser - Guided Missile Destroyer Destroyer - Frigate Frigate - Torpedo Boat Or something like that. Something like this? -------- Tom Thumb > for a nut case you rawk [04:21:15] Mebrithiel Ju'wien > Nik's bio 4tw btw [07:38:53] Graelyn > Nikolai for Dev 108!
Moridan	Posted - 2006.04.27 21:28:00 - [12] Generally termonologies usually went with how many guns a ship had (traditionally) which basically dictated how large a ships crew was(you needed like 6 a gun or so). The term capitol ship usually means a very large crew. Cruiser is a moderatly large crew. Frigates were small crews. In eve i am not sure i would call a battleship a capitol ship, basically because dreads/carrier/etc dwarf them so much. "Speak quietly and carry a big torpedo."
Viktor Fyretracker	Posted - 2006.04.27 21:31:00 - [13] capitol ships also serve as the core of a battlegroup, in the US Navy this means the Supercarrier is a capitol. it serves as command and control for its aircraft as well as its battlegroup.
Maya Rkell	Posted - 2006.04.27 21:32:00 - [14] I for one refer to the BS/Capital core fleet as the "line of battle". Of course, BS - historically - should be BB. But arguing established terms like that is rather pointless and not very important.

Karunel	Posted - 2006.04.27 22:14:00 - [15] /me still remembers the "BS/BB" wars, where the "BB" side lost

In real life all ship types have abbreviations and battleships are known as BB's.

This site explains it decently enough. More important than the real life abreviations, most other scifi games/novels/etc. either stick to the "classical" abreviations or come up with something else to reduce confusion. --- Our greatest glory is not in never failing, but in rising up every time we fail. - Emerson
Kashre	Posted - 2006.04.30 21:47:00 - [21] Originally by: Karunel /me still remembers the "BS/BB" wars, where the "BB" side lost Man my inner groggnard is still offended by that. For months, I refused to call them BS always typing out the whole word "battleship" since no one would get it if I said BB. But the need to type fast in gang finally forced me to go over to the dark side :( BTW, according to the american heritage dictionary a capital ship is : Quote: A warship of the largest class, such as a battleship or an aircraft carrier. So technically at one point, cruisers were capital ships, then battleships were capital ships, and now... uh... capital ships are capital ships :P +++ It's called "low security space" for a reason.
Nikolai Nuvolari	Posted - 2006.04.30 23:06:00 - [22] Originally by: Kashre So technically at one point, cruisers were capital ships, then battleships were capital ships, and now... uh... capital ships are capital ships :P Well if you really want to be technical about it with that definition, then motherships are capital ships, not carriers and dreadnaughts, and when titans come out, they will be the only capital ships. -------- Tom Thumb > for a nut case you rawk [04:21:15] Mebrithiel Ju'wien > Nik's bio 4tw btw [07:38:53] Graelyn > Nikolai for Dev 108!

Skian Mhor	Posted - 2006.05.01 02:40:00 - [24] on the subject of ship classification, the one that I've noticed is'nt in eve's terminology is a Corvette. (not the car, you americans :P ) gap among all the ships, methinks?

(not the car, you americans :P ) gap among all the ships, methinks? Wow, I am American and knew what you meant!! I must be a frikkin genius huh?? Funny though, the OP asked about BC, not BS. One person got it though.. _______________________________________________ I am the devil, and I'm here to do the devils work. Mr. Grumpy-sour-pus

(not the car, you americans :P ) gap among all the ships, methinks? Aren't corvettes even smaller than frigates? Fighters? ________________ ~Phelan Lore Your isk has become my isk, by way of my actions...
Dnol Arendale	Posted - 2006.05.01 03:21:00 - [27] I think Corvettes are bigger than frigates actually. All I remember is Canada built 8 of them at some point during WWII, and they made a big difference in the convoys :p
ArcticFox	Posted - 2006.05.01 03:27:00 - [28] Edited by: ArcticFox on 01/05/2006 03:27:16 Originally by: Phelan Lore Fighters? But... but... fighter's are planes, not boats! Seriously though, this entire discussion is ridiculous. Eve is set tens of thousands of years in the future, it would be less sensible to argue that terminology would not change in that timeframe than to say that it would. I mean, sheesh, ancient egypt was only a few thousand years ago and how many of the same terms do we use in the exact same way in our military today? ---------------------------------- "There's no +6 Sword of WTFPWN in Eve." - Er... Some person on the forum...
Cade Morrigan	Posted - 2006.05.01 03:38:00 - [29] Frigates were bigger than Corvettes back in sailing ship days. Capital Ships are simply the biggest/baddest ships in the fleet, so the BSes of EVE would not qualify it seems. -= Save the Gila! Fix its grid and cpu! =-

(not the car, you americans :P ) gap among all the ships, methinks? Tose are basicly destroyers, or would be if they were in EVE. Or maybe they'd be the T2 indies, since they're blockade runners (atleast in Star Wars they are).
