I can already get a battleship to warp as fast as assualt frigates, make them faster and it will be even easier to out warp the other ships. This means you can land battleship fleets in the same time as cruisers and not sacrifice very much if anything.
Will such BS do any meaningful DPS? WIll it have any meaningful tank? If so any details please?

Yes to both.
I never fly a mega in any fleet if it would be a liability to the fleet or cannot at the very least match what the ships in that fleet do. The firepower and tank are both much higher than the other ships plus I always bring a flight of armour drones which come in handy when in shield fleets. The new structure drones are a great little tool and the tackle frigs love me for it.

I have long thought that scan resolution favoring smaller ships is outmoded and unnecessary. Reverse them so that larger ships lock faster.

Sure, except in reality a battleship is usually unable to tackle a frigate or apply 100% of its DPS. The reverse is not true for frigates. And as for the comment by baltec1, not only do you destroy 50% or more of your tank by substituting Hyperspacial rigs or utilizing Ascendancy implants - but you still cannot match the align speed or warp acceleration of an assault frigate. Even with a greater warp speed, a battleship cannot hope to outrun a pursuing assault frigate.

I have been going out with AF fleets for years now and doing just fine with keeping up.

i have just looked into pyfa. using 3x Large Hyperspatial T2 rigs i can get Megatron to 3.91AU/sec warp speed.
Assault frigates have 4-5.5
Do i miss something?

I fly Battleships solo 95% of the time. But I rarely find others doing the same. I get killed by several others ships together...

And how would that mega and your 2 billion in implants fare solo?
That you're in a fleet pretty much renders your comments irrelevant.
It'd be cheaper and faster to keep up with a gang in a cyno hopping BLOP's given the mega and pod is going to put you at twice the cost of a BLOP's.

Try and 1vs1 in a battleship
you will have 20+ cunts on you.
There are people that use Battleships solo on purpose to escelate fights i.e. lure multiple people into trying to "gank" them. Then kill them off.
but thats 1vs5+ not 1vs1
In my opinion 1vs1 is almost dead.
It might still exist in FW plexes but with Off Grid boosts etc. etc. 1vs1 is pretty much dead. |
