What do ya think?
Your dream ship or pre dps nerfed with srunken drone bay??
Personnally though... lighter and faster than the mega means i'll finally have a reason to fly battleships!!!!

Deepending on it's tank, the lack of drone bay makes me a tiny bit worried, but if a gallente pilot needs a fleet rail boat, theres always the Rokh....
unless your into roleplay that is.
Hell, it's made my life a whole lot clearer.

Sucks. Rokh is a better blaster boat (unless the Rokh is really, really slow).
25% bonus to resistances=much easier to tank it.
Shield tanking=much more efficent with implants/faction mods.
50% bonus to ranges=18-20km optimal range using Null.
Rokh; the blaster boat that tanks, and lets you reach out and crush someone. A Rokh with an officer webber will keep a Hyperion/other short range boat at 14km, while uber-tanking with ~70% average resistances.
thats bull****,
especially if both pilots are using the same web...
tbh, i'll happily train for both a deadicated sniper and bs version of the thorax

It should get a big pg and cpu boost over the mega so maybe a full neutron setup would be viable to make up for the lack of drones?
do nuetrons really do that much more damage?

but people, the drones!!!
unlike all the other BS's, even tough it'll out damage them all, your drones will be the only option you'll have to change damage types....
If you've only got enough for 3 heavies, that would be extremely sad...

whats the point of the mega now? outranged and outblasted..
This new BS doesnt have a tracking bonus like the mega does, that in itself is going to make it less damaging, so I wouldnt worry I think theirs life left in the old dog yet 
themegas always had a problem tbh, the hyberion is pritty much what the mega needed to be....
The gallente did really need that fleet BS all the other races seem to have 2 of but the mega can still do that so what ever...

its funny, when you compare the threads for the sperate ships, the only ones who seem to be happy are the caldari (again?)
I'm happy with the idea of this ship, the drone by needs to be a nice standard one, tracking would be nice but those MWD bonuses really help this ship do what it does better than any ship in it's class, they do work in the rax, and they'll be bonifibly awesome in a (none faction) BS

it has really crappy targetting range, and I mean really crappy. It also has smaller drone bay than Megathron and obviously worse tracking.
From the dev blog...
Lighter means less mass thus faster acceleration not agility. Also Tux stated the turret amount in each and every one of tier3 battleships but no mention from Hype.
Honestly 8/4/8 is GN Mega and Fed Issue Mega layout and 8/5/7 is Vindicator. Those make me think of an oddball layout tbh.
Personally i'd prefer 7/6/7 slot layout (assuming they'll get 20 slots). Even better remove dmg bonus and add %5 less fiting reqs for fitting blasters per Gal BS lvl.
In eve, as in live, agility is determined by inertia, which has mass as a mjor factor.
If it's light, it'll be agile.... It's the same reason why assualt frigates are like bricks when you compare them to there t1 counterparts..
Roden Shipyards?
