Can operate solo if need be - no cyno requirement 2. Turrets 3. MWD 4. Much smaller sig radius 5. Probably still going to be cheaper 6. It's not a capital ship 7. IT'S NOT A CAPITAL SHIP Believe or not, a number of people can't be arsed with the whole capital ship 'thing' (and besides, regardless of temporary respite, you can guarantee the current 'solo' abilities of carriers will be getting a swing of the bat in the future) ---------- Video - 'War-Machine'

Tech 2 battleships are not capital ships, I understand that. Why then is their cost equivalent to one? Being slow isn't that big of a deal, a Rokh without skills has a default speed of what? 110m/s? SigRadius becomes a non-factor as soon as you are flying something of Battleship size, or larger. If you mean by 100 isk on Sisi then yes it's equivalent... however, unless you have the gift of foresight I'm not sure where your information on the cost of T2 Battleships on TQ comes from, given it will be wholly market driven. ---------- Video - 'War-Machine'

You have enough money to buy a ship (either Marauder/Carrier) and fully fit it. Who here would choose a Marauder, honestly? No. Honestly. ...and why? I plan to for one. I have perfect skills for the Blasterthron, down to the very last detail, I can't fly a single T2 ship, or any other race ship. Why? because it's bloody good fun!... I don't want to prance around in an interceptor or a HAC, or sit in a 'super' fleet of capital ships hitting on a POS or humping a station... Well, the next logical step up from the Blasterthron (ok Navy Megathron aside) is the Kronos... ...and it looks amazing ---------- Video - 'War-Machine'

But this whole discussion is ridiculous, as it goes much more, Exeq -> Oneiros -> Thanatos rather than any other way. A much more logical flow would be, Mega/Hyp/Domi -> Moros. I just don't understand how in one thread you are asking for help about relatively basic things, and then in another thread you are professing to know all about all these ships you've never even flown. Because I've seen the carrier fleets. I've seen just how common they are in 0.0. I understand why as well, they are simply the most cost effective combat ship out there, for their relatively cheap price their combat power is far greater than both Tech 1 and the soon to be Tech 2 Battleships (which are super underwhelming). I don't want to play a game, where every single person flies a god damn capital. You'd all be stuck in your home systems... "RAWR!! They shall know fear!! " "Umm... does anyone have a cyno?" "WHAT?? You we're supposed to be the one to put up the cyno in the target system..." "BUT BUT!.... my carrier won't fit through teh gates! " ... .... ---------- Video - 'War-Machine'

THERE PVE SHIPS To be more percise their *MISSION SHIPS* MARUDERS ARE NOT COMBAT SHIPS they would get pwned by everything else They aren't simply mission ships and you'd be a fool to treat them as such when facing them. Higher turret/launcher damage then the Tier2 hulls at half the capacitor cost Tanking bonus of the Tier 3 hulls T2 resistances Double the number '800' cap booster charges They have an EW hole yes, but then, any Battleship SOLO is usually vulnerable to EW... ---------- Video - 'War-Machine'
