eVaLF PMI	Posted - 2006.10.12 06:11:00 - [1] Hello What does a battleship mean to you? What is your first association when you hear "a battleship"? Any answer would be appreciated, thank you very much
Angus McDorble Caldari	Posted - 2006.10.12 06:15:00 - [2] Battleships are SO overdone. It seems like EVERYBODY has them these days! ------------------------------- Sorry I stunk up the factory. 19d, 2h, 18m, and 12s until Caldari Industrial V is finished. Watch out, EVE. You're about to get HAULED.
NOObbody Dusk and Dawn	Posted - 2006.10.12 06:27:00 - [3] Every noob wants them and then gets powerpwned if hes finally in one, because he thinks its almost invincible... Too funny
Kunming Amarr adeptus gattacus Lotka Volterra	Posted - 2006.10.12 06:39:00 - [4] Solo-pwn-mobile! Seriously, the BS has no specific role and can take out any ships class. Yeah yeah, I know that a handful of frigs or cruisers can do the same but then again those ships have a more specialized gang together and not to forget that "the pilot" is the most valuable asset in this game. If you wanna solo you're either in a BS, a vagabond or one of those nasty cloaking recons, BS being the least skill intensive (its still alot though) in comparition.
Ather Ialeas Amarr	Posted - 2006.10.12 06:40:00 - [5] Battleships for me follow the mantra "I am big and I shoot big targets." Remove big targets and it's jut big.
inSpirAcy The Solopwnmobiles	Posted - 2006.10.12 06:41:00 - [6] It means check the pilot's age and see if an easy, embarassing gank by my BC is at hand.

Akita T Caldari Navy Volunteer Task Force	Posted - 2006.10.12 07:01:00 - [8] When I hear "Battleship", I instantly think of only a handfull of things: L4 mission runners, fleet/sniping setups, gate campers/snipers. So, basically, medium-to-long range huge damage dealers, and that's about it. Other than that, BSs are way, way overrated IMHO. Tanking wise, I'd fly my Ferox (or Nighthawk/Vulture, but don't have all prerequisites skills for them on this char) any time of the day vs a Raven (actually, now, at over 4 mil SP total on this char, I don't even HAVE BS L1 yet). __ Always question everything. Including yourself.
Hirana Yoshida	Posted - 2006.10.12 07:07:00 - [9] Battleships have no special meaning to me, being from a small country the biggest is a frigate so thats what I focus in :D Thinking of battleships brings one image to mind: BROADSIDE! I love the limited footage that exists from way back when. Guns swiveling and the barrels being thrown back when fired. Pure power!

Nazgu'l Gallente Deviance Inc SMASH Alliance	Posted - 2006.10.12 07:46:00 - [15] Look at me, I have a big boat and im not afraid of anything ... I hated going to weddings. All the grandmas would poke me saying "You're next". They stopped that when I started doing it to them at funerals.
Draugz Caldari	Posted - 2006.10.12 08:11:00 - [16] Edited by: Draugz on 12/10/2006 08:14:19 Originally by: Ather Ialeas Battleships for me follow the mantra "I am big and I shoot big targets." Remove big targets and it's jut big. I like using a combination of medium and large guns on the Apocalypse, x4 T2 Tachyons x3 T2 Heavy Pulse. People are narrow minded if they think because they fly a Battleship they cant fit it to deal with big and small targets. Edit-- Ontopic, The word Battleship makes me think of Heavy Nosferatu.

Posted - 2006.10.12 08:40:00 - [19] Originally by: Akita T When I hear "Battleship", I instantly think of only a handfull of things: L4 mission runners, fleet/sniping setups, gate campers/snipers.

And you'd lose. Shrug I dont care how long you could stand up to a Raven one on one, you wouldnt stand a chance of breaking its tank, and while thats not what we're discussing here, its just a matter of fact if both pilots have a brain. - One that works. I'd rather meet a Raven in another Raven or a Blasterthron, in my case, a B-Thron is where its at. A battleship, to me, means alot of fun in an expensive ship that I dont get to solo often in, and having close combat with other big targets makes my wee wee happy in my pants. Izo Azlion. ---
Victor Ivanov	Posted - 2006.10.12 08:56:00 - [20] It seems like the cool thing nowadays to mock Battleships. No matter how cool t2 ships are, battleships will always remain. Why? Because they occupy a certain role within a fleet that will always be in demand. To the person talking about his ferox: I used to specialise in Feroxes and Ravens. Although the Ferox definitely has the potential to tank any Raven instilled damage almost indefinitely, it could never ever hope to break the tank of a Raven, if the person piloting it has at least two brain cells. What battleships mean to me? I am someone who likes messing around extensively with setups to fit new innovative things to confuse my enemies. Battleships offer most potential for doing so, which is why I like them. That, and their damage potential. Other than that, I plan to get myself in a Command Ship soon. drools
Akita T Caldari Navy Volunteer Task Force	Posted - 2006.10.12 08:59:00 - [21] Edited by: Akita T on 12/10/2006 09:01:19 Well, I don't expect to win against a Raven in a Ferox, I just expect to survive enough to get away :) I'm a L3 solo / L4 gang mission running carebear And of course, I can barely wait to get the needed skills for the Nighthawk and the Vulture already (NH solo, Vulture in gang). __ Always question everything. Including yourself.
DuPuy	Posted - 2006.10.12 09:15:00 - [22] My views are not eve views, it seems... Battleship, to me, means: heavyweight boxer (anti-battleship, bombardment, command roles) a) Big ship b) Heavily protected against gunfire c) vulnerable to some weapon types d) long endurance e) good command, sensor functions f) narrow role g) poor agility, wide variety of speed types (mostly slower) Battlecruiser to me means: bantamweight boxer (anti-cruiser, anti-raider, command role) a) A smaller number of battleship-class weapons b) armor equivalent to a heavy cruiser c) less mass (armor) equals more speed and agility d) more versatile secondary armament options So... I guess my battleship is an eve Dreadnought, and my Battlecruiser is an eve battleship, and the battlecruiser is a heavy cruiser... (But this is all based on nautical impressions, so CCP can do whatever they want in space!!)
inSpirAcy The Solopwnmobiles	Posted - 2006.10.12 09:56:00 - [23] Originally by: Victor Ivanov It seems like the cool thing nowadays to mock Battleships. I don't think anyone mocks BS as such, just the huge influx of ISK-loaded newbies jumping into them without any understanding of how important support skills really are. Back in the good old days money was a natural limitation on how fast you could progress into large ships. Nowadays, even for those not whoring ISK off of ebay, it's stupidly easy to make cash. For fun I made a new Minmatar character some time ago and ran some missons with him; by the end of a week I'd made 30M and he was beginning to farm the easier L3s. I fear a good BS pilot. But I laugh at the majority of BS pilots, quite frankly HACs scare me a lot more because they always indicate a solid SP and player skill investment.
Shadow Mancer The Splinter Syndicate SMASH Alliance	Posted - 2006.10.12 10:04:00 - [24] I like using a combination of medium and large guns on the Apocalypse, x4 T2 Tachyons x3 T2 Heavy Pulse. People are narrow minded if they think because they fly a Battleship they cant fit it to deal with big and small targets. They are not narrow minded mate, think before u jump to conclusion. People dun usually mix up with range and size of their guns due to a few factors : 1) equal range on all guns give pilots a better idea on how far to warp to. It is useful in a fleet i.e 2) Most battleships (not apocalypse tho lol) have bonus specifically assigned to types of guns. I.e, Megathron has damage bonus to large blasters and railguns, would be a very silly idea if u fit 4 large neutrons and 3 light electron blasters even tho u think light electrons might hit smaller targets better. To be able to hit smaller targets with big guns u will need to web them. When I hear Apoc ;-) i think Banana ;-) when I hear armageddon i think - big *****ooooooo....lol

If they deleted Battleships tommorow EVE would be a better game for it.. not saying they should, but they definitely need a proper role and be less of an "anti-everything" ship.

This could make a nice kill and drop good loot, too!" When thinking about flying one myself, "Hells yeah. I can attempt to take on anything smaller than a capital ship."

Leandro Salazar Aeon Industries	Posted - 2006.10.12 11:26:00 - [32] My first association is 16" guns and a day where Naval warfare was a lot more interesting than today. As for EVE, Battleships = ISK and thats about it. (Yes I run lvl4s) Way too common to be something special anymore. Dreads pretty much have the traditional role of the Battleship in EVE. In a historical sense, I think EVEs battleships are a lot like the 74-gun Ship of the Line of the 18th/19th century. The mainstay of any fleet, but also omnipresent in small gangs. A common tool for projection of power. --------- ZOMG my sig was concordokkened! Link removed due to bad language on remote site. -wystler
McTaggart Gallente	Posted - 2006.10.12 13:02:00 - [33] Battleship = ISK I only trained bses to ***** 0.0 spawns faster than my cruisers/bcs.
MeatFist Caldari SLICE AND DICE MINING	Posted - 2006.10.12 13:36:00 - [34] A BS to me means Cannon Fodder. Generally in fleets BS draw fire as primary targets, although I will admit gangs and fleets are getting smarter and are moving away from this trend. PvP, or PvE, BSÆs to me mean primary target. ---

Nicocat Caldari New Age Solutions	Posted - 2006.10.12 15:42:00 - [38] Depends on the Bship in question. Gallente: Oh, look, a Gallente Bship. How quaint. stay in SS, no sense losing a ship to a ***mobile Caldari: Oh, look, ECM. stay in SS, same reason (Addendum: Raven in lowsec and possibly 0.0 is a fabulous target in a Phoon) Minmatar: Oh, look, a gate sniper. stay in SS, no sense trying to get to someone 250km away Amarr: Mmm, crunchy. attack in said phoon ---------------------------- Remember, killing a Goon isn't murder.

Viktor Fyretracker Caldari Worms Corp	Posted - 2006.10.12 16:39:00 - [40] my Image of the battleship is a vessel bristling with guns, much like the floating can of whupass used by the US Navy known as the Iowa class. there is no sight in war machines more amazing then a full broadside of an Iowa class short of a nuclear weapon.

eVaLF PMI	Posted - 2006.10.12 20:00:00 - [45] Edited by: eVaLF on 12/10/2006 20:01:25 As for me, when i hear a "BattleShip" I imagine 1) Raven - it'a just the first BS i can think of, as many people here do. interesting why? 2) ISK - pretty costy for noobs, which is good 3) Profit - as I build battlehips and I enjoy that very much I bet many of you have bought battleships from me (if bought in Jita) This makes me proud when I see a Raven or a Megathron in space meaningfully flying by, and there's a good chance that it was built by me. Battleships are great! I like em Thank you everyone for the answers, was very interesting to know

Battleship: Type of vessel seemingly designed to strike terror into newbs, making them whine and grovel until they get all the nerfs they need to finally be able to pwn them solo with a T1 Frig or Beginner one if possible, in such a way that unless Lvl 4 missions are in mind, training for them is highly adviced against. It all began with a missinterpreted and now missused and definitely abused developer phrase: "They are not meant to be solo pwnmobiles"; catchy and repeated line these days, usually found along spearhead whines such as: "Nerf Stabs!", "Nerf Instas!" and the rather recent one: "Nerf NOS!". Yay! So much meaning in one word, amazing, huh? But well I honestly can't complain, because thanks to all of those clever and resourceful individuals who bravely fought for the cause, now everyone can be a competent PVP'er with just training... Ibis IV. So thanks God I noticed the hype soon enough to not to train for more than what lvl 4's require... -+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ *Quod Natura non da, Salamantica non praesta*

Zekk Pacus Caldari StateCorp	Posted - 2006.10.13 00:03:00 - [58] The Battleship is still the only ship that can have a serious, out-and-out slugfest with other ships. Every other ship is limited in some way. Plus it's very, very funny to watch newbs train BS IV, Large whatever IV and nothing else then moan that they got their BS popped in a level 3 mission.

Tolomea	Posted - 2006.10.13 00:53:00 - [60] This is a Battleship http://www.3dhistory.de/elemente/bilder/Bismarck/norway_sun2small.jpg She was nearly as long as the titanic, substantially wider at the beam and quite a bit faster. Designed to solopwn hauler convoys in the Atlantic, the British were !@#$ scared of her and on her maiden voyage sent 3 BS, 2 BC, 2 heavy cruisers, 1/2 dozen destroyers, 2 aircraft carriers and a cruiser after her (did I miss any?). After blowing the BC Hood the British flagship into itty bitty pieces in a single salvo from the 8x15" guns, she suffered a 1 in a million torpedo hit to the rudder that jammed the rudder into one of the props. Reduced to sailing in a slow circle the British then set about beating her to death. After being pummelled incessantly for hours by torpedos and shells everything above the deck armour was either destroyed or burning. However out of this entire bombardment not a single torpedo and only 2 shells managed to penetrate the main armour. At this stage the now desperate crew scuttled her. Really the only word for it is "epic". That was a Battleship. I love Eve so I won't do it the disservice of comparing its Battleships to the Bismarck.

Oh then you must've heard about the Graf Zeppelin too, I don't really know what the germans used to smoke while building them but man, they must've had some sort of alien alloy or something... - and btw, this one was never finished!
