Originally by: Bhaal Amarr suck, who cares what stupid names they use for their ships...
Well how about something along the lines of. "I'm about to die" "I suck" "I'm inferior" in latin? Hmmm sounds quite good to me to be honest.
We suck = nos combibo I'm about to die = Ego sum super morior I'm inferior = Ego sum improbus
I like the Improbus as a name, "inferior" just about sums it up :(

Stick to a more Amarrian Theme.
Perhaps stick to the 'prophecy' theme.
How about: 'Fate' or 'Harbinger'

Well, certainly for the Caldari one ships with shield resists generally are railboats, so I can sort of understand.
Although the real danger in creating a BC which doesn't really do the tanking thing, is that you're doing cruiser grade firepower, whilst being a BS sized target. IMO it'd have to be notably better on DPS than a caracal to make that a worthy trade off. Something like the raven bonuses of RoF and velocity would be fairly cool, as then going for a high missile damage output would be a viable option.
Of course, I'd also be very happy with shield resists + RoF. Bit more damage than a caracal, especially if it's multi damage type (couple more launcher slots perhaps?), and with a 'big fat target' painted on it, but with a tank to balance that out.

I always imagined BCs as the same thing as destroyers, just bigger.
Both have more firepower (high slots) than their counterparts (frigs/cruisers) Both have relatively the same tank (resists and shield HP offset by being bigger than usual) Both are slow as **** compared to their counterparts
A BC, in my mind, is a cruiser killer, like a destroyer is a frigate killer.
Regardless, I love my Cyclone, and I will love my Hurricane.

I hate the Cyclone, but will probably like the Hurricane. Armor tank ftw.

I remember when they first introduced BD's i thought they would be much like BC's IRL, almost as much firepower as a BS but with the shield/armor of a cruiser. Obviously this wouldnt work in eve, but I think the T2 are closer to this than T1, more damage, lets just hope its a LOT more damage and less tank.
And nerf the sig radius :P

Originally by: Rutoo Ummm Why do the 2 Battecruisers name mean the same thing?
Both Cyclone and Hurricane Mean the same thing. Infact they are the same thing. It's just about location.
hur+ri+cane Audio pronunciation of "Hurricane" ( P ) Pronunciation Key (hvr-kn, hr-) n.
1. A severe tropical cyclone originating in the equatorial regions of the Atlantic Ocean or Caribbean Sea or eastern regions of the Pacific Ocean, traveling north, northwest, or northeast from its point of origin, and usually involving heavy rains.
cy+clone Audio pronunciation of "Cyclone" ( P ) Pronunciation Key (skln) n.
1. Meteorology. 1. An atmospheric system characterized by the rapid inward circulation of air masses about a low-pressure center, usually accompanied by stormy, often destructive weather. Cyclones circulate counterclockwise in the Northern Hemisphere and clockwise in the Southern Hemisphere. 2. A violent tropical storm, especially one originating in the southwestern Pacific Ocean or Indian Ocean.
So can you please pleas pick a better name?
Not as bad as gallente ships
Astarte (from Greek Αστάρτη (Astßrtē)) is the name of a major goddess as known from Northwestern Semitic regions, cognate in name, origin and functions with the goddess Ishtar in Mesopotamian texts.
Ishtar is the Assyrian counterpart to the Sumerian Inanna and to the cognate northwest Semitic goddess Astarte. Anunit, Astarte and Atarsamain are alternative names for Ishtar.
Now the thing here is that these two ships are not even close to the same... Not even made by the same company... Since the Ishtar is a creodron ship, the least that could have been done was make the Astarte the creodron ship instead of the Eos.
ĉAshtart was accepted by the Greeks under the name of Aphrodite.
Eos ("dawn") was, in Greek mythology, the Titan goddess of the dawn, who rose from her home at the edge of Oceanus, the Ocean that surrounds the world, to herald her brother Helios, the sun. ---"What's in your wallet?"--- "There are two kinds of respect, fear and admiration.... I'll take what I can get" |

Jeez with the name discussion. who cares, call the Amarr one "Uptight" the Caldari one "Profit" the Gallente one "Stolen" and the Minmatar one "Duct Tape" can we move on now please?
I'm concerned about the role this ship will play. Will it be the same with the other BC, only with different approaches (weapon type f.e) or will it be a different concept altogether?
Personally, I'd like to see a glass cannon concept ship, as long as it's a really goddamn big cannon, and the glass is plexiglass XD

Originally by: Perry 8 Heavy Pulse II with 5% Rof Bonus and Conflag may be able to put out enough EM damage to overcome the EANM+DC tanks. Will get nerfed faster then you can say "wtf amarr ship killed me???"
I think you know as well as I do that that is a stupid idea for a t1 ship, and are just posting this to troll because you feel a great injustice that you are best at killing shields rather than armor. Tell anyone caldari (the most flown race in the game) that EM damage sucks, and you should have ridiculously high DPS to compensate and watch them go "uh.... 0% resist "

Originally by: Ithildin Will these tier 2 battlecruisers also mean that half of the Command Ships will be redesigned slightly considering that they lend heavily from them by looking at fittings?
I don't really see a reason for it, but I guess you can say its unfortunate that the command ships were released before the tier 2 battlecruisers as the Eos and Nighthawk seem to be upgrades from the Myrmidon and Drake
The Bustard used to have the Badger Mk II hull, and then one day after a patch, completely unannounced, it had the Badger Mk III hull [which, by the way, I'm STILL waiting to see released, damnit!]. Clearly a purely graphical update like that is so minor that it's not even worthy of mention. Hence, I don't see any reason NOT to replace the Absolution, Nighthawk, Eos, and Slepneir hulls with the Betrayal, Drake, Myrmidon, and Hurricane hulls.

Originally by: Gariuys Tehre's quiet a lot in between a armor tanker and 7 med slots...
Everyone is so convinced any shield tanker with less than 7 slots sucks, it must be true.
I still like the 8/5/5 or even 8/6/4 I suggested.
The Raven has been shield tanking just fine for three years with only six medslots. The Ferox itself has only 5 medslots, and the Tier 1 battlecruisers are supposed to be the tankers. For a Tier 2 Minmatar battlecruiser, 5 medslots should be quite enough for a shield tank.

Perhaps stick to the 'prophecy' theme.
It would work great for a Khanid ship, but this is a T1 Amarrian ship, so yeah, it should be changed.
What do you think of "Vision"?

Accurate though it would be, if the geddon had been called "Inflamed *****", it would be the most unpopular ship in eve.
