This could be said for dreadnaughts as well.
The Capital class ships all reqiure racial battleship V of which you choose.
However there is no bonus associated with that as there is with other t2 ships.
A Minimatar Inty gets 5% to small samage and 7.5% to ROF for each level of Minmatar Frigate, and then 5% sig reduction + 5% warp disrupt/web range.
The Panther, which is a t2 BS that requires BS 5 gets 5% ROF and 5% DMG per BS level.
So my request is:
Investigate requirement for Racial BS V and add an appropriate bonus for it, otherwise, remove free timecard we have to pay you just to fly a capital ship.

then what's the point of the requirment other than to milk money from you? It's worthless.

It's for balance. By forcing capital pilots to train their racial BS V, CCP reduces the number of capital pilots, making those pilots rarer and more valuable to corporations and alliances, as it should be. The "bonus" for a capital pilot training BS V is that you get to fly capitals.
Unless there's a game balance reason why a given capital ship is not adequately performing its mission profile, ships shouldn't be given arbitrary buffs.
Sorry, no support.

so basically you are saying that it should take bs 4 to get itno teh next size ship like frig 4 is prereq to cruiser and cruiser 4 is prereq to bs? I can certainly see why frig and cruiser V as prereqs seems a bit harsh. Could you explain what your preferred level is and why you fell it is too high a little more. I think i can see your point but before i thumb you I want to be a litle more certain.

This is kind of like asking why a cruiser doesn't get a bonus for having the frigate skill. A carrier is not a tech 2 battleship. Different classes of ships don't carry weight forward from the previous class.

It's a requisite, not a relevant spaceship command skill. This would be like complaining that racial Cruiser skills don't help your Battlecruiser, or racial Industrial skills don't help your Freighter. And speaking as someone who is probably going to be training capitals in the next several months, I wouldn't want it reduced. Capitals aren't supposed to be for the faint of heart, or the low of SP. The perfect battleship pilot takes a billion isk and a month to qualify for capitals, and that's about as it should be.

if you think bs 5 is bad the other "required" capital skills jump drive op 5, jump drive cal, training for siege mod etc etc will kill you...
It's supposed to be an elite ship leave it as is

Capitals aren't tech II battleships.

Merely a skillpoint grind to getting capitals. Battleship V is an immensely useful skill to have anyways.

Capitals are not T2 Battleships.
Its purpose is to cut down the number of capital pilots out there, CCP have stated many times that they never intended capitals to be nearly as common as they are now. Anyone can get one, particularly Carriers.

Capital ships are not T2 BS, they are T1 ships. Does your T1 cruiser get a bonus for the levels in frigate that you have? No. So neither do capitals get a bonus for the levels in BS you have.
