Bully Class
If you've been out to 0.0 you might of seen or been in a fast moving t2 gang. They can pick targets, have enough dps to knock out the big ships and flee when needed. A class of ships that could be used to combat this type of threat could be called Battle Destroyers or Bully Class.
They would be on par with the speed of a tier 2 battleship and have a larger sig but be able to tank better. They would also have limited power grid, and possibly a bonus like logistic ships for large armor reps, limiting you to medium guns. They would have 8 turret medium hard points but have a rate of fire reduction with an increase in optimal/falloff as well as tracking. Their dps would hover around that of a battle cruiser. They would also have a very high sensor strength that could make it difficult to jam.
The cost of the ship would be around 250+ mil isk. Their ability to tank quite a bit of damage, but really only be able to put the hurting on medium/small ships earns them the title of Bully.
This would mean battleship gangs would hold more value in roaming gangs for the fire power to take down these beasts in a meaningful time. I'm sure tons more fine tuning could be done to them to make them more balanced.
Tech 2 Battleships
I heard one idea around the lines that Tech 2 battleships could be implemented that have one style that jump drives, and another style that runs missions better. This idea doesn't really jive with me too much. It's already a pain to worry about capitals jumping on top of your guys to have to worry about blobs of battleships landing on you from an uber power alliance. For the mission running battleship idea, I would prefer there to be a ship that encouraged people to pvp more cause that is where the fun is at 
A New Idea On Tech 2 Battleships
For Tech 2 battleships, instead of making them into super tanking beasts with the standard increase in fire power plus resists, we could try point defense systems that increase their survivability. For instance, you could have passive defense systems on the tech 2 battleships that effect any target shooting at it.
For the Amarr, they could get a passive system that would tracking disrupt ships attacking it. or it could possibly Nuet energy from attacking ships.
The Caldari would have anti drone defenses that could attack any drones shooting it. Or you could do a passive ecm chance on attacking ships.
Gallente could get a passive missile point defense system that would knock missiles down. Or it could randomly sensor dampen ships.
Minmatar could be a torp based ship that likes to passively target paint attackers or maybe web.
There could be a skill called Point Defense systems that each level would increase the point defense by varying amounts.
I'm sure there's plenty of ideas that could be added to balance and expand upon this idea.

randomly word is bad.. dont use this kind of approach..
As for bully class: u can do that with abbadon, hyperion or such. U can tank them to high heaven, and have some small or medium guns fitted along with 5 warriros II to fend of inties..
As for new idea for t2 BS: no. we have dedicated recons and t1 cruisers and they are doing its job good.
Rather think about getting POS warfare more interesting with this T2 BS..

The point of the bully class is to be a destroyer for medium ships, you won't get the accuracy with bships you need to hit the medium ships. The point defense system is a new twist on on adding defense on Tech 2 Battleships and add a new dynamic to picking targets.

I think you misunderstand the basic idea for this ship. If you have seen Robotech you'll know what I'm talking about. A bigger ship that can moider cruiser sized ships, but could have its own class of weapon, much like the capitals have its own(like those Ion cannons for the moros). Perhaps a 2x220mm or something. Just thought it would be cool to try to tackle a ship with lots of guys and seeing a hulking ship firing crap tons of guns that would be about as deafening as the warp sounds lol.

Do yourself a favor and get an emulator for tetris in windowed mode.
Post with your main or STFU.
