Just a quick thought on this,
As most of you would know back in WW2 they introduced what was called a Tank Destroyer it was a lightly armoured but fitted with a high powered gun.
Now would would happen if for eg we had frigates role bonused for upsizing to medium guns and the cruiser varient upsized to BS guns.
The ships would be designed around a very fragile hull without been able to fit a decent tank and been up sized guns would not be able to fight in their own class very effectively.
In my thinking this would result in a ship to harrass larger vessels, if this ship was flown incorrectly the same fate would happen to it as what happened to the tank destroyers going head to head with a proper tank.
So the general idea would be for this ship to be used in fleets as general dps in hit/run flanking attacks giving their abilty to get in and out faster than their targets.

Also, destroyers are generally a glass cannon type of a ship. Sure the guns are not big, but considering their size, there's usually a whole lot of them. Sadly, considering how much we see them flown, I do not honestly think the "all big gun battlecruiser" idea works in EVE. (Historical WW II and earlier battlecruisers were ships fast as cruisers but with battleship-sized guns, the theory being that they could outrun the battleships they didn't outgun, and outgun the cruisers they couldn't outrun.)
The idea itself has merit, though. Harbinger is almost that (though can't get the range to compete with sniper battleships), as well as most destroyers (which have a way worse tank than cruisers, thus making it a lopsided battle unless there's a whole lot of destroyers).

the glass cannon idea gets tossed around every once in a while, the problem is, in eve, your basically cannon fodder as a glass cannon, since there is no way to stop you from getting primaried. __________________________________________________ I was Amarr before they were the FOTM and I'll be Amarr after it!

1- We have stealth bombers already.
2- They suck.
3- These ideas don't work in games because in RL ships don't have to be balanced, if one ship is better then the rest. GOOD. In games unfortunately not so good. ----------------------------------------------- Free Trade Corp - Flash page "I often quote myself. It adds spice to my conversation." |

give stealthbombers some other more appropriate role. THEN get a new class of t2 frigate, have them similar to bombers now, but fit LARGE long range weaponry, only three tho, like the bomber.
give them some sort of range bonus, and whatever other bonus's... BUT
give them a 50% tracking penalty, this way the frigs out there wont get insta volly'd .. or volly'd at all if they are not properly tackled.
this ship would work well as it would force people to have tacklers and longe range damage dealers to work together (more teamwork, more fun) _________________________________________________________ Only once you've lost everything, are you free to do anything.
