I know there was a thread somewhere talking about this or perhaps I read about it in the mile long T3 BS thread but I wanted to single out the relationship of Faction BS's in Kali, what are you thoughts of how they compare to T3 Bs? Do you think the faction BS bonuses outweigh the sheer number of guns you can fit on the T3 BS's? -Steve

no, but there should be tier 3 faction BS's.
Actually, there should be factions ships for all ships of a class, but all should not be released, and only available through the factional warfare system, where it belongs.

You've gotta remember, Faction BSs arn't actually meant to be leeagues above all T1 ships- they're just meant to be an improved version of their T1 counterpart.
For eg., a Vindicator (faction Megathron) is better than a regular Mega, due to the various improved stats it receives. However, no where is it writte that Vindicators have to be better than Hyperions, aswell.
The high price of faction BSs isn't their uber abilities (although they are usually pretty ****ed good), its due to their rarity and value as a collectors item.
More faction ships would always be welcome, though. I'm still waiting for a faction (ANY FACTION) drone BS like a Domi, and faction Tier3s would always be nice.

must also remember faction battleships also play a role, thus the name faction BS, there not really a tier 4 or tier 3 there what npc pirates fly, and i think all the faction ships that are currently used in missions should be made available somewhat, would also be pretty cool to see the faction capitals...
As far as a faction domi i want the elite drone parasite domi

IMHO I think one of the reason why most of the new Tier 3 battles have so many problems is that the dev don't want them to step on tier 2 faction ships noes. I would like ccp to forget about all the faction battleship when design the new tier 3 and then boost the tier 2 faction battles abit to compensate after the fact. All the new tier 3 have had their extra slot removed for example.

More faction ships would be nice, but how about a small balancing of the avaible ones first?
At the moment, some are silly-good (Rattlesnake, CNR, Vindicator, etc) while others are hangar ornaments (Nightmare, Ashimmu, Phantasm, Gila, etc).
Most of the "problem ships" are simply suffering from the fact that while the "mark2" balancing was done for all normal t1 ships to account for the current module fitting needs, it was never done for the faction battleships and cruisers. Result: some of them can only be reasonably fitted with faction gear, and even then they usually suck. Their CPU and grid is just too low for current fittings, in many cases they have less CPU and grid than their t1 "normal" variants(!).
Balance the faction ships a bit, first. In most cases all that's needed is just some more CPU and grid, it should not be hard to do.

That would be amazing :) I think that the faction BS prices will come down as most people will just buy the T3 stuff... or the now completley useless vindicator now with the t2 nerf...
