I also thing the Drake just does too much damage compared to the Nighthawk. If the Nighthawk uses anything but kinetic missiles, the drake will out damage it. There needs to be a much bigger gap between T1 and T2 if you look at the amount of skills and ISK required for a command ship.

the nighthawk needs a 7th launcher, that should have been painfully apparent right from the start though.
The tier 2 BCs are meant to be heavy damage dealers, and everyone keeps saying don't make it do more damage than a command ship, or make a command ship do more damage. At least that seems to be the generality of the comments.
I would like to point out that: A command ship was not designed to do damage. Command ships are meant to command fleets, and give gang bonuses through gang assist modules. Hence the name command ship.
While a tier 1 BC has a tank that can be comparable to a BS, it traditionally has not much, if any more firepower than a T1 cruiser. For example: I use a ferox with a missile loadout because my rail skills are putrid. Therefore, I can get more range and DPS out of a Caracal. However, the caracal has a crap tank and we all know it
Thus, there needs to be a 3rd kind of BC implemented into the game in the form of a tier 2 BC. One that has a heftier skill pre req than the tier 1, but will balance the gap in firepower. I gotta say the devs got this one right, so please stop complaining for them to change it.
Also, if you can fly a command ship (I am training for one myself), you can probably manage a tier 2 BC just fine, so if you want firepower, stop using the command ships for something other than their designed purpose and get one of the new tier 2s k? thx.
Your do realise what you have typed right? command ships are suposed to be fleet command ships... and not have superior firepower... i can clearly notice you never flew a field command ship nor even took a look at any of them, what you describe are exactly as you said FLEET command ship's, but you forgot theres a second class, the FIELD command ship's, squad commanding ship's to be out on the field kicking ass, and yes, you've guessed they're suposed to outclass HAC's (wich on their own kicks any tier1 or tier2 BC) and so yeah... they're main focus? BIG dmg output... and when i say big... i mean... B I G, and when you say that a tier 2 bc should infact do more or same dmg than a TECH 2 BC you haven't taken a close look at what tech 2 equipment is suposed to be... it's suposed to be BETTER than it's own tech 1 class of equipment.... so... your arguments although eloquently spoken... are quite honestly ultimatly WRONG...
sorry mate, not trying to flame you, but you kinda made me laugh :P
P.S: tier 2 BC aren't suposed to be cheaper wtfpwnage mobiles as oposed to the expensive field command ship's that niche belongs to the second and guess what... it ain't cheap, and plus, i'll bet any good astarte/sleipnir fighter can kick almost any non-faction BS on a 1v1... but that's just me....
