It is a bit tankier than a travel fit incursion BS, yet probably not tanky enough to justify the slow align time and all.

If aligntime is a problem for you then maybe you should look into a Daredevil on an Alt.
Of course you could always take your time and fly the 3 BS one by one, still being shiny gank magnets.
Or you could put 3 of them rigged into the Bowhead, fly them over, and use a Transport for carrying the shiny modules in a second haul.

You know, being smart and stuff.


Or you don't use it to fly 3 BS, but 20 Cruisers. Like, moving your PvP arsenal across highsec.
Or deploy whole Cruiser-Doctrines in Nullsec with 10-20 of these and a Titan.

This ship excite me.

Going tank is not my forte will fit for warp speed and alighn time...goodies bar hull and rigs go different route.

Make it look badarse if ship dont use existing hull.

Waste of dev time, will be the next big thing to blow up. Thought process at CCP is that people are dumb enough to use it, pack it like a pinata, make it super easy to kill, and create isk sink since ship a billion in ships blow up better than 100s of random **** in the hull (50/50 something drops, but the greater the number of items the more likely it will drop vs just a few items at the same odds).

Update for those not following the main thread;

CCP Rise took the stats back to the team, switching useless speed bonus for agi, and boosting up the HP. Not sure by how much yet.

Alright, we're talking about it here and think there's probably no good reason not to raise the HP some. Where do you guys think it needs to be to make say, three t2 fit BS, inefficient to gank?

And you're right about afk travel vs active travel, switching to agility to support align time sounds good to me.

350k ehp is not a soft target and it comes with the ability to fit a mwd so it aligns much faster than a freighter.

i know but people were winging that anything over one t2 fit battle ship would make it gank efficient,
thing is though , even if they give it 5 or even 600 ehp the bears will still manage to make them worth popping Big smile
personally im just going to fill mine with frigates and cruisers and other fun stuff.

indeed,it has around the same PG as is required for a 100mn MWD, almost like CCP did that on purpose or something. Roll

You were expecting a ship that didnt require fitting choices?

With the inertia mod change it might be agile enough to use a 100MN AB - even faster align (7.5 sec vs 10 sec) and fitting left over for tank.

So what happens to local/grid/tidi when one (or more) of these things pops full of shuttles?

The same when a Ship assembly array gets destroyed. You have a wreck with lot of Ships in it

Looks even better now,if it can launch ships in space it is home away from home.

Ship hangars from orcas/carriers currently don't drop anything.
