Well Warzone I'll try... Power projection...
Yes, you are escorted by "support" vessels to deal with "fleets" of other smaller craft but a BS in this sense is supposed to be the focal point of holding ground (read gate, warp-in whatever).
A BS can (in theory) take out any single other craft. But to deal with large groups you are going to need "point defense".
Your 90mil investment is supposed to be one in say 10 craft. The real problem, as I see it, BS's are too common so ppl now think they are the ONLY craft they should be driving...
Also taking direct commparisons by cost is no indicator of worth. A miner I, for example, costs 35k and a miner II, (only 50% better) costs much more (500k the last time I checked)
Just because it cost 90mil does not mean it should be 180 times better than a frigate.

It's a question of scale... A Miner I may cost 50K and a Miner II may cost 500K. My god..ten times as much...and it doesn't give ten times the effect.
Okay...soooo lets get impartial...Eve Dude Plus, rates the Gallante Frigate Tristan, at 550,000. Which is silly..we all know it. It rates the Megathron at 210,000,000...which again is silly.
Its over 380 times as much...(at like I said a much greater scale)
Ok... well. All I was trying to say by my example is that you cannot equate financial cost to worth directly. It dosn't matter if it's 1000 times as much. People want the best SINGLE ship in the game they go for the BS. They forget, I fear, that against a fleet you need escort. The miner1/2 thing was just an example.
In summery. The question (what do I get for 90mil when you can get a ship for 150k?) is invalid as the BS is NOT supposed to be (and never was even at NPC price) hundreds of times better than a frigate...

whoa far too many stats... but a good point.
The worth maybe linear but the price is not.

Forget Pirates and Roids
Please, please, please...*lord let him answer straight this time*
What role is a battleship supposed to carry out where players are concerned? Lots of people have thrown their arms up, but no-one...and we are onto the third page here people..has answered.....
Pirates and roids? huh?...
A battleship? Well it's the best thing for killing other players... It's just that MULTIPLE ships can take it out... (forget the cost!!!) There you go, question answered. Not hard to understand really.
Edit: Enjoy Eve-i ya frikken Troll
