You went against a group of ships collectively worth at least three times as much as your battleship, with logi and dedicated ewar, and you think you should have 'obliterated that'? Lol. You didn't 'warp into something small', you warped into a fleet far more capable than your battleship and should consider yourself lucky that you actually got out. You say they should have to ship up... but they were already shipped up. What they had there was more than enough to handle a single t1 battleship and that's the way it should be. What you need to get over is this idea that physical size equates to power. It doesn't. They outnumbered you, outtanked you, and outpriced you. The only thing you might have had over them was dps, but that's only because they had chosen to bring ewar ships over dedicated attack ones.
While I will agree that some battleships could do with some buffs (gun battleships in particular feel underpowered due to lacking the versatility of missile and drone battleships. A Rapid Heavy type gun battery module would be nice, along with more scan res), they can do fine if you don't bite off more than you can chew.
I fly battleships in solo/small gang environments. I like them because they're quite capable while still being cheap. Yes, a t2 cruiser might be better. But it's also more expensive than a t1 battleship. Solo battleships are good at fighting off groups of t1 frigs or cruisers, or very small numbers of faction/t2 ones if you fly well.

Electronically superior? You were against dedicated ewar boats.
Again, size does not equal power. |
