Since they brought us battlecrusiers with L guns, do you think it's logical to assume they'll bring battleships with 1-3 XL guns?
Would be very lulzy!

The next logical step would be XL guns on cruisers. Then DDs on frigs.

My shipyards finised a few of these some time back, It's classed a sized up inbetween cap and battleship sort of ship called Super Battleships.
Tier 1s where Escort carriers
Tier 2s where Arsenel Ships

Empires of course only covered cost of materials and research they where just messing around with vairous prototypes and according to simualtions ships are not that viable at the moment.

Both unable to cyno but they can gate jump and they're relatively fast for cap like functions and can either tank or hit like a cap but cannot to both as the same time.

I remember you did a Mead battleship a couple of years ago, reminded me of your second link there - that was cool and would certainly suit a massive set of guns on each side Cool

How about bomber capable light drones be sweet, or fighter strong medium drones.

Might be cool to have frigs that shoot torps as well, and also cloak to kick it up a notch.

I finally remember why I called it the Mead, its was supposed to been a yacth I dont know what my yardhands where doing building it into a battleship. I guess they like sharp pointy things.

wouldn't a BS with 3 XL guns do less damage than a marauder? I checked a megathron with 3 XL ions and it did less DPS than a kronos with 4 large ions. Anyway, isn't a dreadnought just a BS with XL guns?

Well, we already have stealth bombers, but what about a cruiser(or a dessy or BC) that shoots citadel torpedoes and can cloak?(Or we could leave out the cloaky bit)
Would certainly help with taking down a pos with the added dps, tho without the ECM immunity of dreads in siege mode.

What about a pony that shoots rainbows and can one-shot titans while cloaked?

You overdid it with the cloak. What's the point in flying a pony if nobody can see it?

Because cloaking is 20% cooler.

Trolol thread, but Trolol thread with a good point!

CCP mentioned a role renewal for BlackOps ships at the last AT. They mentioned they would like to see them maybe being used to kill supers. Now putting 1 and 1 together and maybe getting three it could be possible this is the way they are going with black ops.

XL guns on a platform which doesnot require to use siege and can cloak *caugh hopefully warp cloaked* now that would be a super killer!


♥do it CCP DOOOOOOOO IT♥
