I know there was a post from the devs which floated an idea of frigates being more difficult to target.
Lots of people said hooray!!! I'm afraid I'm in the other camp.
My dear old Megathron retails at 90+ million. Now if you want to work on the human wave idea and sink half a million into each frigate..that's not gonna be a bad frigate.
90 million divided by .5 = 180 little snapping turtles biting your heels.
I'l be honest. Even the way things are today. I'd put my money on the 180 small south american pooches, rather than the 1 Rottweiler.
If they put this in...I just wonder what my large bucket of frigate fodder will do with itself....and why I spent the money in the first place.

Okay...lets look at things as they are today. We have big ships and we have small ships.
Why do you think that major powers invest in large platforms?
It's because they kick ass and take names...they do not bob about in the sea in "speed boats" to show the world, how mean and nasty thay are.
So where is the power projection, other than the big graphic of the battleship?

Okay Karash..lets follow your logic.
I have my 90 million ISK ship escorted...by lets say 4 frigates and two cruisers.
What would you say it's meaningful function and purpose was for this 90 million investment...I'm really curious?

Okay Skaz, terminology aside...BB /BS..blah blah
You are attempting to describe a second world war warship. A modern day combat platform (crusier...and even the US BB's that were used in the first gulf war) can detect, engage and destroy multiple targets.
This issue of slugs being surrounded by hi-tech natives is a myth in modern day.....

Ah yes, I'm describing WWII naval combat for a reason, because that's what I think that the devs were aiming for when creating the game.
I don't seem to remember smart bombs, or missiles, dossing about....or multiple acquisition, ecm / eccm systems either?
I don't want to send this into Troll mode.
What is the funvtion and the investment of the 90 million + supposed to produce?
Please put all your Star Wars videos away...

Still no one has answered the question of what they are meant to achieve for the price.
We don't have a "submarine" in Eve, so that's a non issue.
I'll ask again...(if u can all try not to say it's big and it should be easy to shoot pls)
WOW....I'm not sure Darwin was right....

Don't answer a question with question.
For the 90+ milion...What do you think the Battleship should provide to a friendly force / take away from an enemy force?
Don't try and say if / but / and / when.
What should it give for the investment!!!???

Could someone please not try to blame the Battleship...don't blame CCP.
Someone try to answer the question of what it is supposed to do for the money.
*pinch me lord...and then post an answer to the question..no one seems to want to*

Okay Ana...we're on a roll.
Five people in Battelships. What can that half a billion ISK do?
What do you think it should be able to do?

Eric / Ana
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)

Well put A...still laughing at the fuzzy dice thing.
As for the mining platform...please spare me.
For 6 million I can buy a Thorax which can mount five mining lasers...or should I pay the extra 84 million, for another two...that is a tough one, and has kept me awake at night for........minutes!!!
