Pretty simple . . .

Caldari theme:
* missiles, hybrids, shield-tanking

Gallente theme:
* drones/some hybrids, armour-tanking

Minmatar theme:
* artillery/autocannons, speed, armor tanking, shield tanking, drones

Amarr theme:
* lasers, heavy armour-tanking

Ok, let's take a trip back in the time machine:

The Raven used to be a terrible PvP ship. It was great for missions with long-range torps, but its PvP damage was severely lacking. So, how to fix it?

Giving the Raven more launcher slots would be the obvious option, but there was one problem: the Typhoon. Unfortunately, while the Raven had spare high slots, the Typhoon's 4/4 layout already put it at the cap of 8 slots. So CCP needed a different option.


The result: torps get a ROF boost, and the torp battleships do the same damage as the gunboats but with fewer slots used. Now that they're balanced that way, an 8-launcher battleship would be incredibly overpowered, doing way more damage than even a full-gank Megathron with much better range.

Balancing blows donkey shaft. What this game needs is un-balancing.
In today's game environment, (aside from Cap ship warfare) skill points are irrelevant: it's all about numbers and ship-class mismatches to win the day in any kind of engagement. Any kind. Period.

So having a 8-slot missle boat is irrelevant.
I say bring out the un-balancing. Each race should have some kind of unique advantage - and some more than others (with an appropriate antithesis). Not everyone sucks vs. everyone (balanced). Bleh. Has killed the game, imo.

Raven Fleet issue has 8 slots. Save up lots, & buy one.

Since the Khabaddon seems to be so popular, I'll do the others
All ships have only 8 highslots, obviously

Common ROLE BONUS : +5% stasis webifier and target painter effectiveness
10% primary resist bonus and 5% secondary resist bonus compared to base hull.
-10% speed, targetting range and sensor stats compared to base hull.
+50% hull HP compared to base hull.
+10% PG and +5% CPU compared to base hull.
+25% cargohold compared to base hull.
All OTHER stats if not mentioned are IDENTICAL to the base hull.


Khanid Abaddon (repost, slightly modified)
8 launchers, 8 guns
5% armor resists and -5% cap recharge time per Amarr BS level
+5% torpedo damage and +7.5% armor repper effectiveness per Marauders level
0 dronebay

Ishukone Rokh
8 guns, 4 launchers
5% shield resist and +10% large hybrid optimal per Caldari BS level
5% large hybrid turret damage and +10% shield amount per Marauders level
0 dronebay

P.S. I feel some of them are not overpowered enough to qualify for ridiculous requests, any suggestions ?

I long to see a BS that has 8 missile slots other than the CSR.

Why is it that all races have "gun boats"? why canÆt other races have missile boats?

tl;dr
