I believe the Minmatar BS is getting a Smartbomb and Targetpainting bonus.
You know you want it.

I kinda doubt a BS will be given a resist bonus or tanking bonus.

I cant see any battleship getting 10% optimal, its too overpowering with large long range guns. |

Not that much for Amarr ships.
It would make Mega Beams a viable weapon for long-range fights. It would also allow Amarr BS users to use those fantastically non-damaging radio cristals in place of Aurora lenses.

Tier 3 Minnie BS I'm expecting:
8/6/5
7 Turret Hardpoints
5% Optimal per level
5% RoF per level
Although you never know, they could give us a droneboat, or a dedicated missile boat, or even an EW boat (/me does circle of protection:target painters). We are the generalist race, after all. I don' think a battleship will ever see a speed bonus - not that I wouldn't be happy to be proved wrong :)
I'd put money on them giving us 6/5 mid/low, though, whatever we get. We're seeing more of a trend to that with newer Minmatar ships recently.
Edit: Oh, and personally, I hate range bonuses on battleships :(

Having flown pretty much every caldari gunship (i know, i know, you can count em on one hand), i'm also estimating that the bonuses would be a 10% optimal, 5% resistances per level. True, with 425mm's it would reach ranges that go far beyond the targetting hardcap, but think about this: 425mm II's loaded with javelin would have an optimal of about 75km (estimate, maybe someone can come up with realistic numbers) at bs lvl 5.
As far as i know slot-wise, it would have 8 turrets (wouldn't outdamage the megathron but still capable of reasonable dps)
Have you seen the penalty for using Javelin ammo? That is the T2 Ammo no Caldari user can shoot. The added damage is not worth that much loss of defense.
I was using Javelin for range reference but I agree, you wouldn't have shield left with 8 guns javelin fitted. As for the person who said it would be overpowered with 10% optimal (trust me, i'm not hoping for this bonus, i'd rather have damage but that's the gallente's playground), i doubt you've ever been shot with railguns, overall they have the lowest damage modifier of any gun with their only benefit being extreme range optimals.
another note to add: 10% optimal, 5% resists is what i THINK it's gonna be (looking at the other railboats they have), this is neither a wishlist nor certainty.

I really hope in more meds than lows so we'll have the first minni bs for shield tanking (I use tempest for that atm). Even 8/7/4 will be nice, imo.

One problem - you've already got people hitting at 200 - 220km with t2 ammo, and that doesn't necessarily even take falloff into account. A Caldari gunship with 10% optimal per level would just let you engage at those kinds of ranges without sinking an obscene amount of time into t2 large guns, that's all. As maximum range is hard-capped at 249km, there wouldn't be much difference rangewise.
I imagine it'll get 6 turrets. Caldari are usually a bit slender on their primary weapon slots compared to other races.
mmm not really hybrid have the highest optimal range and probably is the highest range sniper, heard of mega sniping at over 300km
a 50% to optimal will probably boost the max range by around 30% so even in your example if a mega now have a battlerange of 220km a similar ship with a 50% to optimal will be close to 300km wich is quite a big difference.
doesn't matter since you can't lock over 250km
I think amarr will get cap reduction and resistance bonus
caldari range+resistance
gallente mwd+dmg
minmatar speed+rof(??)
