Dunno if something like this has been posted before, but i will try anyway 
With the current situation of daily rising prices on Battleships, it beomes more and more unrealistic for the common small corp or freelance player to ever get a hold on one.
Cruisers tend to be quite effective and variable, but they simply lack the firepower and durability, when it comes to hard npc or fleet battles.
So, why not create a in-between class of ships?
This class could be called "Battlecruiser", "Heavy Cruiser", "Destroyer", or "War Cruiser".
They culd have enough powergrid to either fit one BS class Weapon and some small ones, or the most powerfull aviable cruiser weapons on, say 5-6 slots.
They could have about 1800 shield, 1600 armor and structure, 5 lo, 3 mid and 5-6 high slots.
(there could be 2 - 3 different ones per race)
You should need at least cruiser lv 4, starship 5 to fly one of them.
When it comes to cust they should at least cost double as much as the most expensive cruiser.
Therefore it would not be that easy to aquire them for a standard player, but it coud fill the large gap between C and BS, and add some more variability to the ships someone can fly.
Like it? hate it?
pls post your comments  !

Would be cool, but it would change alot...and for the slots, 5-3-5 is already on some cruisers, and if you go much higher you start to get the level 1 bs slots...hard to get inbetween there, and the guns, well they would practically need a new class of guns for this ship too, orhterwise it would be exactly like a cruiser, with 2000 more hitpoints...

Hm, about the guns, they are only defined via the powergrid and cap use... so if you give such a battlecruiser a Powergrid of, say 3500, he could mount at least one BS class weapon.
Which gives some nice applications...i.e. assault B-cruiser, support B-cruiser, etc...
Its hard for a freelancer to work himself up to a BS, and we all know many players loose the "fun" about the "work". Why not giving them a goal they can accomplish faster and have more possibilities after that, i.e npc farming in low sec with some others in Battlecruisers...
That was my major idea behind this.

I think the ship are ok as they are at the moment.
Adding new ship CCP would have to rebalance system and it a lof of complications. The problem is the megacite & zydrine cost. The ship system, it *good* as it is.
Nice links (updated 20 Dec 04):
BP, bugs about them.

I've been saying Eve needed a few additions to their ship class when I was able to fly every class available. To offset Caldari ships I was able to fly, I trained every races ship skill to Cruisers and still came up with the same problems. Not enough Fleibility. 
They should add a Destroyer ship class to bridge the gap between Frigates and Cruisers. And I agree, something between Cruiser and Battleship. I can't believe it cost about 10 mil ISK for a Moa now, and then from there a Scorpion or Raven BS's cost about 10-15 times that!

i rather like the idea. the heavy cruiser and a destroyer class would be nice. maybe CCP could work them into the next tech upgrade?

I think it will happen with tech II mods for the current range of ships. A tech II frigate with tech II modules will hopefully be somewhere in between current frigate and cruisers.

im in for this, i really like the cruiser stage. Better to have a different variety than to have two ships to cover so many roles.
More ships in eve!

Na
Buy another type ship  !!!
People cannot afford the ships that is out there.
And why!!! We cannot purchase BS's because you cannot mine the minerals to build them or anything else... The economy of this game is going to crap!!!!
Very Dumb!!
My VOTE IS NO WAY!!!
Cannot make money to purchase.

Tech II cruisers no doubt will be the step between cruisers and battleship, it'll work itself out.
