Also one thing... What makes you guys think that BCs should be fitted with medium guns?
IF BC class would be switch to large guns, it would actually balance the number of ship classes using S/ML weapons. Now there isn't enough demand for large weapons. And there are way too huge demand for medium sized weapons. Isnt there like 5 frig classes for smalls, 7-9 classes for meds and just three for larges.
Industry and market would benefit on this change. |

Why not?
Look at it this way:
If there is some change that you would like to see happen that would benefit you personally, then the benefit is exactly the reason why it wont happen. |

You know, I keep seeing everyone posting this, but the fail in this argument is that the new Tr3 BCs are also battle CRUISERS.
So I wish people would stop copy pasting each other. |

condescending remark by Liang.
Also, I'm not a fan of changing things just because. If someone wants a large gun BC, they know where to find it. If someone wants a medium gun BC, they know where to find that too. Why remove variety?

You can call it Heavy Assault Frigate or Battle Frigate

If they did change the weapon size, well, they would have to down the defenses, up the speed, change the bonuses, and replace the role bonus. Tier 2 BCs are designed to do medium damage but have a strong tank. Tier 3 BCs are the opposite, with heavy damage and a medium tank (speed being a part of it). Tier 1 BCs, aside from the Brutix (the original glass canon BC), are seldom used and in need of a buff; I do not think making them like Tier 3 BCs is the answer.
Have a look at the original explanation of battlecruisers from when they were introduced in the Exodus patch:
CCP wrote:The design for battlecruisers was for them to be the needed mini-battleships, hard as hell and can deal above average cruiser damage, they are for offensive actions but not "target me and kill me in 5 secs or you will die in these 5", but more like "if you want me to stop dealing this good damage on you, you would have to focus 100% on killing me you big mean battleship pilot, cuz im almost as big as you". Source: http://www.eveonline.com/features/exodus/detail.asp (notice the "but not")
Right now, Teir 2 BCs (esp. the Drake and Cane) are at the top of the kill boards. They do not need a buff or fixing (ok, the Mymidon needs a forth drone, but that's it).
As for missions, Tier 3s are not useless; they are great damage assist ships. For once, the Gallente come out ahead: the Talos has a full compliment of light drones. Fit it with railguns and you will have plenty of range and damage with ideal bonuses (IMHO, the range is sufficient and the tracking is too weak on rails for missions). Overall, these BCs will require less skills, which is great for new pilots tagging along with older ones (for PvE or PvP really). They are great stepping stones to a BS as well, smoothing the transition from cruiser to battleship. |

If they added large guns to drakes and hurricanes they would then have to lower the defensive and versatile stats so they don't outclass battleships, which is exacly what the T3 BC is, so just fly them.

I wish they would have called them 'Monitor' class ships instead. Maybe it could have dodged all this "I want to strap a Mini-gun to a Chihuahua" talk.
