I am well aware that as new player i know little about the current balance, but, for me, the battleship is the most disappoint ship type in eve.
Starting in the common sense area(or as much common sense as we can predict the technology in 1000s years):
Why are battleship so big with so few tech systems onboard?
Given a cruiser can have X slots, a battleship that is 5x the size (or more), should have slightly more equipment slots than the "30% more than cruiser"....
Difference in armor, hull, shield is not staggering either. Not to mention some of the t3 cruiser can get several times over effectiove hitpoints of a battleship.
Weapons. Are a.... Sad joke? Given Eve balance, Han Solo could have solo'd (har har) the imperial dreadnought/battleship instead of running away from it.
I know that precariously constructed and heavily patched balance is hard to keep - but please for the love of god give each battleship 5ish more high-slots (WAIT!) that can fit only *small* guns. So it adds very little to the effective high end pve/pvp dmg, BUT fixes the horrible unfairness of frig/destroyer/cruiser vs battleship fights.
Can u imagine the engineers of current battleships - while designing its battle potential.
- "So this frigate goes under our guns and slowly kills us, while keeping us unable to move fast or jump...." - "And it slowly kills us? yes, thats the plan, junior! Now go fetch those blueprints to the factory!"
Utility slots - I guess that more than half a kilometer of high tech ship is hardly enough space to fit some (obvious?!) electronic warfare toys.... I mean, really, every single one should have a tractor beam, target painter, scrambler and a web. Dedicated slots, or just built in t2ish version(the hull has requirements, add more requirements to fly it)
Yes i know, balance. You put yourself in a tough position, and its very hard to fix battleships without completely destroying the "game-of-cruisers".
Increase the price, 5times, 10 times... Add some little gun slots, give each BS 2-3 more utility slots. Please. |

No frigate is going to tackle a properly fit Megathron on it's own.
No Frigate isn't going to even touch a properly fitted Barghest or Raven.
No frigate will take down a Rattler Geddon or Domi.
I'm really getting tired of these Battleships sux ccpls fix threads

Unless the battleship is either...
- hyperspecialized (see: sniper or PvE fit) - fail-fitted ("look ma! I ken make RAINBOWS wit mah lazors!") - specifically designed as a fleet ship (ex. Abaddon, Mealstrom, Rokh, etc)
... a single frigate will likely die against a single battleship.
Now a swarm of frigates is a different matter and no amount of small guns or tank is going to help a lone battleship against that. However a group of battleships supported by logi is a wrecking ball that few other fleet doctrines can go toe to toe against.
Basically... battleships shine when used with groups. They are not so good solo. This was a gameplay decision to force older players with more skillpoints; money, and "powerful ships" to rely on younger players to defend them (that was the intent anyways).

Interesting. I was quite excited myself that day I finally was able to afford an Apocalypse class battleship.
To this day, 3 years later, I still fly around in my Paladin which I still completely love spinning around.

this myth that bs will lose to single frig is becuase of pvp fit frigs killing mission runner bs. it does not mean any bs will lose to a frig lol omg.
my vargur will instablap any/most frig(s) sitting like 20km away not moving.
and if he got under my guns he'd have a heavy neut and drones to deal with. |

armageddon is also one of the most important ships in wormhole space right now.
OP you just haven't seen enough of EVE to know what is good and what isn't
I can give you lot's of ships that are "not meta" and therefore not in use at the moment but there's no single ship CLASS that is completely obsolete (apart from maybe assault frigs, make t3ds barred from smalls already ffs) |

No. No. No. I really wish these "give BS more slots for SMALL guns" threads would stop popping up. They would break any semblance of balance. Why fly any other ship, when I can put small and large turrets/launchers on my ship, basically making it so it never needs support. Then you go on about adding more utility slots on top of that... your joking/high/drunk right?
So my RHML typhoon FI with 2 heavy neuts, mjd, 1200dps and 130k EHP is now going to add on RLML, and some smartbombs, nos, and more neuts? I can alternate between RLML and RHML while one is on reload. Insta-cap any ship except another BS, and kill any frig/cruiser/bc that gets close. And then, if i cant catch or kill you, I can mjd away. In what way does this sound balanced to you?

Bigger and more expensive ships are meant to be better in every aspect, yes. One good thing about eve is that the balance is about the money. The more u pay, the better stuff u get.
I'd say cars are a good analogy - sure u can drive a dacia duster - its a good car, but a range rover thats priced around 100.000+ eur *is* better in each and every aspect. Why isnt everyone driving a range rover then??? Those dumb people!! :D See my point?
BS should require a significant party of smaller ships to defeat - lets say 3-5 cruisers. (currently one cruiser can pretty much destroy a battleship, isnt it wrong?)
The price should be a barrier so not everyone can buy and fly one - i dont really see any problems. Imaging BS hulls for 15bil apiece. Creditcard warriors wont care, gankers wil be supperhappy to organize a bs-ganking party, finally whoever gets a BS will be happy as they get more firepower and "relative" (;-)) safety.
It really does not have to be "fair". Please adjust the price so the loss of one can really hurt. And give them the power they lack. |

Your analogy is flawed. A range rover is not better than a dacia duster in every aspect, because it probably has poorer fuel economy. So it might be faster and haul/tow more, but in doing so uses more fuel than the duster. You cannot just get "more" of everything for free. Everything has a cost/balance. This isnt WoW.
Price is not the only balancing point. Big alliances have no worries about "cost". They fly what will give them the biggest advantage. See ishtars. They cost similarly to t1 BS, and they have been used for years as fleet doctrine. Alliances are out welping rattlesnakes, gilas, machariels with no f***s given about cost.
Some null bears, market traders, indy folk or WH dwellers have amassed hundreds of billions of isk. Money is of no object to them. You introduce a ship that is broken and try and balance by price, all you will see are BS flying around with small/large guns and no other ship can compete with them. So then everyone flies BS and the game becomes boring.
And even worse, it becomes immensely harder on newbros who dont have the SP to compete. The "tackle rifter" would get vollied once he landed point because you want to put 5 small guns on a BS, that already has neuts, a large drone bay, or is fit with missiles.
1 cruiser will NOT kill a BS if the person in the BS has a clue on what they are doing. Or is fit with BS strengths in mind. Your ratting BS on the other hand WILL crumble to a pvp fit cruiser. Thats different though, as PVE and PVP are 2 different animals.
Then you end it with a bang. 15b BS? How much have you smoked, and can i have some? Yes, lets just make it impossible for the players who have the SP and skill to fly a BS in ever being able to fly one. 15b is slightly more than JF cost. Which has a jump drive.
Again, price alone is not a balancing point. Point defense/small turrets on BS is a terrible idea. Learn to fly/fit them, and you will see that most are in decent shape.

Fuel economy is "cost". At the same time hardly worth accounting for (give u an exmaple - i tank 200eur monthly, this is nothing compared to the price of car divided by 4-5 years + insurance costs + taxes and whatnot).
Speaking of BS costing more i meant exactly that - make them cost more. In fuel, in hulls in setup. It will balance out.
Many many games are making the flaw of going into separate pve and pvp ways.... Pve would really be more fun if more than raw dps and tank was required ;-( Plus you wouldnt have the whole pve/pvp fits problem ever.
The tackler thingy - well, seen any sci-fi movie when a swarm of small vessels rush for a bigger enemies?? - yes they get swatted, most of them. As they should. This tackling is very un-intuitive role... Catch a running away ship - u can try, u try to slow him down (he will die if u succeed), he tries to kill u. Why do u want to have 100% bulletproof tacklers?
You are defending a few very broken and illogical things as the game was built around them many years ago. Ofcourse you will think you are right. Im just stating my opinion ;-)

Tacklers are in no way bulletproof, unless its a PvE fitted BS they are very likely to die, If its a PvE fitted frig/cruiser against a PvP BS guess who wins? |

What about weight/size? Harder to navigate in confined areas. The increased mass can also play a role in off roading. Its better at certain things than the other. But is not better at everything than a duster.
Those bigger ships getting swarmed normally have their own fighter squadrons for defense from smaller ships. In eve you could say drones offer the same role. I also remember seeing the smallest ship in starwars fly into the bridge of the larger ship (super star destroyer) and disabling it/killed it. And which ships blew up its deflector shield generators? Oh right, the small ones. Your argument holds no water and doesnt even follow most scifi movies/shows. You are just trying to make something up that suits your argument.

I'm a person who use Battleships ALOT. And i can say after using Battleships since 2005 that they are awesome if you use them correctly and knows what you are doing.
I have several videos where i use Battleships aswell. Expecting to see a Battleship perform well by slapping on some random stuffs on a Battleship and go around with it not knowing what you are doing with it, wont get you far.
Here you have 3 videos that i have made through the last years where i mainly use Battleships.
1. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i58srJMfrfM
2. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7u2YSu0ugts
3. This one is special considering this was done in high sec: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qZ-_61zfTE8
If you feel that you don't know enough about Battleships, you can ask me, because i know everything about them.
Here is a list of my current EVE / PVP videos:

2: Clash of the Empires
3: Suddenly Spaceships fighting in Tama

i think this is wrong as well. take a pvp fit t1 bs and a pvp fit t1 cruiser, id still say the bs would win. your looking at 20-30k ehp for standard cruiser iirc. wheras a bs ur looking at several times that. not to mention several times the damage. the only problem is application. but you never said anythign about that or how your test would be carried out. you just made a blanket statement that a cruiser acn beat a bs.
i would like to ask whoch cruiser vs which bs and what fits are they using and what are the circumstances. eg is the cruiser under the bs guns from the start? or do they satrt 50km from each other. etc. with certain fits the vargur (yes i know its t2) will hit cruiser <15km with relative ease. Im sure t1 bs can pull of the same thing with certain fit.
so no a cruiser cannot destory a bs 1on 1 where no failfit is involved or pvp vs pve fit. |

aa not really true.
Several AB frigates can easily tackle those battleships, and if they can kill the drones (easy on all but the geddon and domi) they can simply hold it almost forever. The easiest ones on your list are the bharghest and raven. They have NOTHING against a well fit and used frigate.

This one is special considering this was done in high sec: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qZ-_61zfTE8If you feel that you don't know enough about Battleships, you can ask me, because i know everything about them.
Does this include Marauders?

aa not really true.
Several AB frigates can easily tackle those battleships, and if they can kill the drones (easy on all but the geddon and domi) they can simply hold it almost forever. The easiest ones on your list are the bharghest and raven. They have NOTHING against a well fit and used frigate.
The problem with battleship arises from them losing 50% of their mobility not long ago, but not gaining anything in return. THere is very very few reasons to bring a battleships instead of a T3 cruiser.
Small adjustments would be enough. For example, slighly larger scan resolution, slighly alrger lock range so they coudl use MJD offensively.. etc...
The Barghest can fit two webs/ TP's, plus Neut and RHML with a velocity bonus what do mean it can't kill a frigate?

Even a Ab Frigate can easily be capped out by 1 heavy nuet. So yes even if the battleship can not kill the friagate it can safely disengage. |
