I have one very real question:
"why are the new third teir Battlecruisers that are cappable of firing Battleship weapons, made of paper?"
Seriously, change the name, skill requirements and call these "T2 destroyers".
based on what I read about the blaster tweak/rebalance, who in the hell is going to equip a nagga with 'blasters'?
Missiles are the caldari racial weapon, so why is the naga a BLASTER BOAT?
you can not speed tank in a BC with an orbit under 75km-
too many ships will neut,disrupt, web, the stuffing out of you if you try it.


I am not going to buy a ship that can't survive one volley from a MACHARIEL!
(by the way 14K+ volley damage at 146 KM is just awesome,
Especially when you tack on how tough a mach is compared to these new BC's)
I am not going to buy a ship that can be torn apart by a dramiel!
I want to ba ble to stand a fricking chance against a LOKI....

I am not lining up to buy plex to buy and fit one of these "t2 destroyers".

there is a massive balance problem right now. that being pirate faction ships.
can the empires get a clue, and reverse engineer some of these things?

I mean, holly hell! with a set of Halo implants the dramiel has a 27 signature, a POD has 25 signature!
comparing the pod to a dramiel,, and then using the same ratios to improve every ship in the game would be NICE!

*blink* blink* this is wierd. make your sigg bigger- I can't hear you, and post twice sum moar plz, kthnx

I know this is the EVE forums and all, but why do so many people make a thread asking for answers then whine and complain when people disagree with them, making themselves look like collosal idiots?

Because this is the internet. People don't want discussions they just want to hear yes-men agreeing with them.

yes I did.

anywho, let's play your game: how would you adapt a tengu to waltz through repeated 14k+ volley damage?
what if your not able to run, for some damn reason or another? how would you people do it?
Many of you claim to be smart, show me how and I'll GTFO+ STFU+ L2P.

why are SB glass cannons?

learn my ship's role and applicable tactics?

Very good young padawan

I was replying to the poster whoese signature is ascII faces, rows and rows of it.
I don't look for yes men. I just hope for more than snide insults and put downs.

I agree that these new BC ships will be great at something, that something is being popped.

I agree that the mach is expensive and does it's job well,
I agree that.... ships have roles and team work is the point of most online games.
I agree...

crap. people.


I guess I get to stay right where I am.

Because this is the internet. People don't want discussions they just want to hear yes-men agreeing with them.

any ideas on where I should go looking for my schooling?

Okay I'm going to try to get this post right the first time.

The role of a Tier 3 battlecruiser appears to be a fleet support ship. It has high damage output, but requires a fleet to defend it to be effective. In effect, it's a subcapital supercapital (or a subcapital post-Crucible supercapital). This is quite simply Perfectly Fine. If it could fit a heavy tank in addition to its battleship-size weapons, it would effectively become a low-end battleship rather than a specialty battlecruiser.

The new Tier 3 BC's are not "intended" to do anything by CCP. Their high DPS is simply balanced by lack of tank and their design is an experiment. What they get used for is entirely up to the players. I don't think anybody really knows yet what they will be best for - but the Jita undock is likely to see quite a few of them.

OP is right actually. Well, at least at some points.
My point of view is those ships is a waste of time and money:

- DPS is done with BS sized guns. Which means they can't hit well targets up to the cruiser size.
- No Drones except Talos. Which means every ship that is smaller then a cruiser can eat you alive.
- No Tank or very little. Well I actually don't mind that. Glass cannon should have low HP, but high utility and versatility, sadly those BCs don't have utility nor versatility.
- The price is too high. t1 BS might cost you less. If I was to choose between t3 BC and t1 BS I'd take Phoon or Domi for sure. Those BCs can't compare to them.
- Making a PvP ship only is a fail. 80% of this game is about PvE. Carebears and others outnumber everything.
- The role of those ships itself is a bit useless and can be replaced with another ship type easily.
