Dunno, maybe u have a couple lowsec pos's and alot of highsec between them? Can travel highsec in some kinda battleship that resembles the new tier 3 battlecruiser.

Are tier 3 BCs used as anything other than gimmick ships in fleets at this point?

Didn't I read somewhere that they made Highsec POS invulnerable recently? or was that a mistake?

Anyway, I can't see it being a super idea to make Mini-Dreads; though a step up in the BS chain might be nice somewhere in the T2 line. I hate that all T2 BS are essentialy Mission munchers.

Thanks. I'm not really familiar with the Dec shield system or how it works, or even how that would affect a POS. I think I've only ever been wardecced twice, and never had a highsec POS.

I assume that generally means that provided enough guys in Glass cannon's and a weak target corp, you could just walk in and camp the POS for a day or so and take it down under a Wardec?

they're effectively invulnerable due to dec-shields no longer being an exploit.

Based on this information I would say give us the mobile station monster known as the Mother ship and make it twice as much as the Titan! Make stations destructable and then make it so the Mothership jumps from system to system acting as a station and staging area until the new stations can be put up.

I love the idea. For one, there is almost no use for Advanced Spaceship Command except as a requirement for Capital ships, almost no ships need ASC but not capital ships.

Also, you could have them be a tier 4 BS or a new class all together, but you could have them fit 4-6 regular large guns and 1 XL turret. (mainly because I think it would look badass) This would give them some feasibility as a standard slow/tanky battleship but also keep them from being an overwhelming dps ship that is used solely for ganking. The XL turret would be near useless while moving anyway. You could enable the siege module to keep it engaged and using the single XL turret for siege engagements, and it would also make it super vulnerable to counter attacks, as they probably should be.

Think, the siege tanks from Starcraft, in theory.

Why I love this idea: It enables more small gang sov warfare, and you would no longer need an entire cap fleet just to take and hold a system, thus letting smaller gangs start claiming their own little pockets of space. More conflict over territory = more change for PVP. When everyone is in giant alliances that are blue to each other, there is very little pvp going on.

Pricing from 4-600m, so that having 3 would equal the dps/cost of a dread, but not the sheer dps or jump ability. It allows for a more gradual jump into dreads, and cap ships. So you wouldn't need to train up a dozen cap skills just to enter your first one.

was with you up to here ...

you should be ashamed of this idea.

I'm just going to point out that SOV warfare isn't going to be small gang warfare just because there's a new ship to fly in, since there's no small objective to reach. Cap fleets aren't vital to taking and holding a system, in fact most of the SOV fights I've been in the last 2 years have been mainly decided by subcaps, and caps were mostly drawn in after the fight was over in a given system.

If you seriously want more fighting over territory, make the SOV system suck less ****.

I'm going to have to go with a no on this one.

It's not that I disapprove of your idea per say, I'm all up for in-between classes of ships. But the is a certain progression to things and currently there is only 1 type of dread available. Same for Carriers, Super Carriers and Titans.

Why can't we expand those hull ranges and roles and bring in some new models at different prices to play with?

If sub-caps get to have multiple hull variations and in-between swingers, why can't the bigger toys get a makeover first?

I thought about this a few days ago, but never posted it.

*STUFF*

I would have thought that was a somewhat obvious solution. Might even be fun.

Honestly, I'd be much more in favor of increasing the granularity of the SOV system, and decreasing the HP of said structures, than add even more ships to the mix. You know the SOV system needs work.
