You want more BS's on field... set Sentry Tracking to their BS Turret equivalent.
[Base Stats]
Gardes and Wardens to 425's. Garde II has base 0.036, Warden II has 0.012; 425mm Rail II is 0.01
Bouncers to 1400's; Bouncer II has 0.19; 1400mm II has 0.009
Curators to Tach's; Curator II has 0.028; Tachs have 0.014
Why take out a BS that tanks like crap after you fill mids/lows for sniping when an Ishtar.
EFT
Ishtard + 2 omni TE II + 2 DDA II =
Tracking: Bouncers = 0.027; Garde = 0.051; Curator = 0.039; Warden = 0.017
DPS: Bouncer = 528; Curator = 553;
Getting Range of BS weapon to about that of Racial Sentry Drone
Apoc + Tach II + 2 TE II + 5 HS II = 576 DPS with Gamma L; Tracking is 0.028
Mael + 1400 II + 2 TE II + 2 Gyro II = 210 DPS with Nuclear L; Tracking is 0.014
Temp + 1400 II + 3 Gyro II + 2 TC II (tracking) = 354 DPS with Tremor L; Tracking however is 0.005
Temp + 1400 II + 3 Gyro II + 2 TC II (tracking) = 221 DPS with Nuke L; Tracking however is 0.019
Things only get better with the Garde II and slightly better for the Warden II.
Ishtards are the only ship where you drop a horde of sentries and scoot ass away to avoid dps. What incentive is there to take out a Domi, Geddon, Apoc, Tempest, Rohk, Megathron (domi and geddon, even tho drone boats, are too slow to burn away) for range when the Ishtar optimal range bonus and the inherently OP sentry tracking are causing inbalance and an entire set of ships to gather dust.
Ishtard
New bonus: Gallente Cruiser bonuses (per skill level):
10% bonus to Light, Medium and Heavy Drone hitpoints and damage
5% bonus to Sentry Drone hitpoints and damage
HAC tracking bonus is the issue... swap it for drone velocity bonus so they get in faster
+5m control range and sentry optimal
10% drone velocity
For too long BS's have been gathering dust since T3's and OP Hac's took their place... Why shouldn't a BS have a better electronics suite and lock minimum of 120km to be less vulnerable to damps, Long range weapons have greater tracking (and less damn PG because fitting them *** tank on armor ships) to overcome TD's, more sensor strength, and faster scan res? You've designed them out of the fight and into just missioning and some WH's. Battleships should be a thing feared, not laughed at.
