Typhoon is for the pros. If your skills aren't top notch, or you have no imagination in ship fitting, don't fly it. Its that simple.

Raven is great for PVP if you have a couple of smaller ships with you. That being said, any other battleship is even better usually.

If you think the Scorpion sucks you have no imagination. One of the best uses I've seen for it is to put an _insane_ shield tank on it, and plate the lowslots. If you're in a gang of 10 people, you will always be called primary and then it'll take them 5 minutes to kill you while the rest of the gang pwns. Also with good-perfect skills the ECM "nerf" becomes an ECM buff for dedicated ECM ships.

Right now the worst battleship is the Apocalypse. With the prevalence of Cap Boosters and Nos, there is no place for a battleship which can perma-run a double (or triple with rigs) armor repper tank. Also, in a time long ago and far away, it was the only battleship with 8 turret slots for mining.
The problem isn't that its a bad ship, its that it has no role in present day EVE.

That only works if the opposing FC is a moron. Most FCs will see that the ship is tanked and switch primaries. Might buy you some time, but you give up a ship to pull it off. A lot of FCs don't even primary Scorps anymore due to the possibility of this tactic and the downside of a jammer Scorp not being that big a deal in larger fights.
Exactly the reason I'm posting this tactic. Someone thought out of the box, and others copied. The point being, 8 midslots is a _lot_ of midslots for out-of-the-box thinking. So the Scorpion can't possibly be a bad ship for its role.
