A T3 BS will be just as welcomed. But I will bet you if and when a T3 BS is released, it will start OP. If you ever notice, all new features implemented in any game usually always comes out OP till we the players have enough real world time so the developers can dial them in. I'm sure this will be true too, just got to give CCP some time to do their tweaks.

Isn't one of the main weaknesses of a battleship, a weakness to smaller faster ships of EVE a core thing?

That's the reason why cruisers are so effective right now anyways. They apply well enough to frigs and dessies but they tank enough to out last them generally, while they are faster and small enough to mitigate most of the Battleships DPS. T3's just amplify it to an extravagant level.


It's like your asking for a really really big cruiser. Yeah it would take care of T3's being a problem but itself would take it's place. A Versatile ship capable of doing everything moderately effectively at once. It didn't work T3's it didn't work with T3D's why would work with a T3BS?

Although I love see new stuff added to the game, CCP REALLY needs to work on making changes for current balances. T3's got a bit of a pass, but as side from the Tengu getting a rather good Balance pass, they all still need help. IMO that should be the priority right now.

Before any new BSs are added, CCP needs to do something (anything) for T2 BCs.

That list came from CCP and it detailed damage from all the different ship classes and BS are ranked one of the least used.

Battleships are fine, they do their roll. But they are shackled to their roll and that roll is not used in daily life unless your a full time mission runner. For the PvP community its mostly Cruisers and under. Bring out the BS's when there's a show of strength. And most FC wont undock a fleet of BS without adequate logi.

And not to be a mean boy, but where are you getting off making any comparisons to a 2 day old character? Bet there are not too many 2 month old characters that fly BS let alone suggest proposals to the game. Anyone with half a mind would understand Eve is too massive to emanate random changes for their own good as they don't comprehend the game in the least.

The games going to evolve whether you like it or not. Being apart of its evolution and making suggestions and tweaks and putting up a valid reason for them is just what Eve needs. Its a 10+ year old game and dying. If you want to keep it alive, your going to need to bring in new players, and most of these new players will have likely given a try to Eve before and have failed the "Eve Learning Cliff". IF they come back, they need that 'something' that was not there before. More content, more possible 'things' in Eve, the better. People play Eve cause they are inspired about some content within it. BS content is limited. That needs to change.

I think over all they play a role as heavy fleet tank/dps. More suited to Fleets and solo Mission runners. Which is fine, from what I can see I have not little tweaks I would want to change to the current BS line up. However, as mentioned, their overall use in Eve is a small fraction. I just want to see that fraction get a little larger with a T3 BS that is capable in the ways that I have mentioned. The gap should not jump from Cruisers to Caps like it does now. And like I said, I think the best counter to a T3 BS is a small feet of T1 BS thus increasing the uses for all BS all the while not hurting what they do now.

If they put a t3BS in your hands - you'd just cover it w/ lotion and disappear for weeks. You're not fooling anyone.
