Vicar2008 Mindstar Technology Get Off My Lawn 127	Posted - 2014.12.04 18:20:32 - [1] - Quote I know Battlecruisers aint exactly FOTM presently, but hey a Cov Ops version could be pretty neat? DPS platforms but probably not BS weaponary this time around. Regards Vic
ShahFluffers Ice Fire Warriors Snuffed Out 6694	Posted - 2014.12.04 18:29:46 - [2] - Quote Why? Change isn't bad, but it isn't always good. Sometimes, the oldest and most simple of things can be the most elegant and effective. "How did you veterans start?"
Alundil Isogen 5 782	Posted - 2014.12.04 18:34:22 - [3] - Quote That would be my question as well. What niche would this fill our what purpose would it be for not already handled by one of the various configurations of T3 or recon cruisers? I'm right behind you
Phaade Perimeter Defense Systems Templis CALSF 294	Posted - 2014.12.04 18:44:26 - [4] - Quote ShahFluffers wrote: Why? Why not? It could be a the combat covert ops we all want. Combat covops = stratios, t3 cruisers, and black ops BS.
James Baboli Ferrous Infernum 342	Posted - 2014.12.04 18:47:31 - [5] - Quote Base such a thing on the "brawly" combat battle cruisers of each race, remove their MMJD ability, 1.1x base HP with the reduced t2 resist profile for t2 battleships. Fairly tight fitting room for a t2 ship and voila. Making battleships worth the warp Tech 3 battleships. Moar battleships

Ulfric Aideran Angels of Blood and Fury The Methodical Alliance 2	Posted - 2014.12.04 19:14:21 - [7] - Quote I had been thinking the same thing recently. Can't think of a really compelling reason to add it, but I can't think of a reason not to add it either. It would give players more options. Maybe they could have some special abilities like oversized guns/torps.
Rroff Questionable Ethics. Ministry of Inappropriate Footwork 866	Posted - 2014.12.04 19:18:02 - [8] - Quote T3s pretty much cover any kind of balanced covert ops use with a battlecruiser really.
Arden Elenduil Unlimited Ripoff Works 227	Posted - 2014.12.04 20:14:06 - [9] - Quote -1 These ships would have no actual use, and adding ships for the sake of adding ships is never a good idea

Can be used for combat but that's not the ships purpose. T3 cruisers are overpowered, I know, but they come with a high price and skill cost on death. Black ops BS is self explanatory... what is the difference between battleships and battle cruisers? Smaller than BS, medium guns for smaller targets, not a t3, not an exploration vessel. Mid cost mid firepower mid size and speed. But yeah, they are closest to t3's. Honestly, I just wish that combat recon ships were covert. I'm not really sure why they are not. I can count on one hand how many times I've seen a Rook on field; it's always a Falcon.
Harvey James The Sengoku Legacy 1021	Posted - 2014.12.04 23:09:53 - [11] - Quote sounds poo Tech 3's need to be multi role ships not cruiser hulls with battleship tank and insane resists ABC's are clearly T2 in all but name.. remove drone assist mechanic. Nerf web strength ..... Make the blaster eagle worth using please
Petrified Old and Petrified Syndication TOG - The Older Gamers Alliance 192	Posted - 2014.12.05 00:24:39 - [12] - Quote I forsee nerfage to such a ship on a scale that would make them pointless. While the idea is enticing, it creates other issues: balance.
Ele Rebellion Underground Coalition 31	Posted - 2014.12.05 00:35:04 - [13] - Quote I like the idea because I believe it would introduce more forms of pvp. and the more the merrier imo. The downside to this would probably be that with Battlecruiser CPU the Expanded Probe launcher would be fairly easy to fit and I know that most people don't want a Cov-Ops ships with enough Tank and DPS to be able to scan down and kill T3 boosters with a single ship. (I see no problem with it, but I know there are quite a few that do) More Ships More creative forms of combat +1
