The question is should a BS be able to out run an Inty? and how do you catch a nano BS ship unless you are in one yourself?
My experience of Nano BS is that, they tend not to engage superior numbers because they know that they have no tank, and they are more likely to get caught, when we have engaged either 1 or a few of em, i get the fleet closely packed, that way if they come close they are likely to get hit by every one, but as we all know we are not allways out in groups.
One of the latest tactics i have seen from the Nano BS pilot, is they will fly accompanied by co-vert opps, who will scan the system for Ratters and miners, and once the nano BS gets you; you are usaully dead, the only ship that i believe they are afraid of is the Dommi, since they have to get in scrambling range at least 20km, then a tanked dommi can unleash its own NOS and its drones, and i would recall my normal drones and deploy sentry's which will not miss a large ship, and with a tank and lots of Nos you will out last them! they will end up with drawing. This is assuming you are fighting one! I know this works because i had one try it on me and he withdrew he was in a Nano Dommi travelling at aprox 7km/sec which is ridiculous.
whats the point of using Intys when you can use BS to tackle! the introduction of rigs has made these ships even more formidable.
The Nano Dommi i mentioned above has killed many peeps in our alliance, we have tried every way to get him and we have failed! on one occassion we had 3 intys get near him, 2 of em got him he just nossed em instantly and got away before our BSs had time to even lock him!
On another occascion we dropped a few bubbles round the gate, he turned up, before we even had a chance to lock him he was like 200km away! in a space of a 6/8secs!, and even if we had are own nano BS, if he gets a slight start its still going to be difficult to catch them!
So where will it all end? I agree you should be able to make BS fast, but only up to a point, yes make it so you can posibly get to a gate, or you can warp quickly, (like i my BS does 1100km with MWD but thats to get me out of a bubble or to a gate!) and i think thats reasonable speed and i can still get caught by an inty, in which case i use other counter measures, but speed should not be used on a BS as the ultimate counter, then you deprive the inty of its usefulness! which should not be the case. And on one final note, the danger is if people cant beat it, they will join it, making the use of BS one Dimensional and this will take away all the other wonderful tactics and setups that make it very interesting.
