I've heard Rumors about a destroyer-class ship coming out. First I heard that it was between a cruiser and a battleship, then I heard that it was between a battleship and titan. Has anyone else heard something of this nature?

All I know is it is a ship designed to take out frigates. Kind of wierd since Battleships do a fine job of that themselves.

I think it would be perfect to bridge the gap between the massive price differential between frigates and cruisers.
It also would serve another role which would be more specific, but sadly still has the legacy as my learned friend pointed out of being shadowed by battleships efficiency at doing anything and everything.

uhm, no.
look at the way the navy works in real life.
This was exlained to me by someone in the US Navy because i though destroyer came after cruiser.
the order of ships is:
-frigate
-destroyer
-cruiser
-battlecruiser (think this is only in sci-fi?)
-battleship
-carrier
so it would come between frigate, and cruiser.
which makes sense if its designed to be an anti-frigate ship. (also makes sense cause of the recent targetting speed changes)

Battleships might not be able to do so well against frigates with the targeting speed changes they've been talking about along with the selectable warp-in distances. I think it'll be great to have another class of ship if only to add variety. But ultimately it could help to mix up fleet compositions, and allow those who can't/don't want to fly battleships, to pilot a different class and still be able to have an impact on the battle.
And no, Battlecruisers are not a sci-fi only thing. It's a ship class that was only around for a relatively short period, from around the time the Dreadnought was launched (1906) till beginning of WWII. They were armed like Battleships, but faster, at the cost of armor. They were to be used to the enemy fleet if he tried to get away.

I think its a massive gap between Cruiser and BS. There should be something else, maybe not destroyer, but something else. And now everyone wants a BS because its bigger, and best. It can do everthing that other ships can do, if better, so frigates, cruisers are just one step on the way for BS... All shipclasses should be specialized in something, and new classes are needed, frigates are no godd, becuase there is cruiser, and cruiser are no good because there is BS... so, a frigate should be more useful, have do be able to do something that a Cruiser/BS cant do..

There are massive gaps between the current ships, we can all see that.
Frigate to Cruiser
and
Cruiser to Battleship
And I think that is another reason Seelek that battleships need some kind of change. Drones were a gallante speciality, but thats kinda dwarfed when every single battleship in the game can use then don't you think? Battleships just do everything, which leaves them with virtually no weaknesses... But that is another discussion.
Yes, there was a gab between battleships filled with Heavy Cruisers/Pocket Battleships, etc. Bigger cruisers, smaller battleships, etc. All just to fill gaps that were seen to be vulnerablilities in the other ships designs, or in an attempt to do something else specific at the cost of X feature.
Battleships have very few weaknesses, so at the moment they don't need accompanying ships. If they did, there would be gaps that would need to be filled by a friend that could do that role to help defend his big-buddy.
All those reasons asside, there is a huge cash differntial to be climbed from frigate to cruiser, and I think that even adding a destroy which was 1/2 the differential would at least allow a slightly easier stepping-stone into the higher level ships for people. Likewise, the same could be said about cruiser to battleship...
Those would be my reasons/ideas for wanting them anyway :)

Why remake the current bs as dreadnoughts and a new smaller battleship class.
I also think bs are far too cheap at the mo
