[Tech 3 BS Idea] The Frignaut

First post

Hey guys,

So I have had an idea on how to cull the large frigate population of EVERYWHERE, enter.. The Frignaut

The Frignaut is a non-racial specific ship, with the Eidolon skin (because it's awesome). It is a tech 3 BS, and the super weapon of the drifters has been manipulated as so. The idea behind it is the old school AoE DD effect that works only against frigate and destroyer sized ships.

Everyone knows that all "pro pvp" is done in frigates now, and Battleships took a turn for the worse. There is only 1 frignaut, and it is a Jovian based ship (a bit like the Gnosis) where everyone can fly it instantly, and the super weapon requires only "Mechanic I" trained (don't want our newbros feeling left out).

So, there's 15 frigs ganking 1 other frig in a plex, The Frignaut is balanced out by it's slower warp speed (so frigs can see it on scan). But the moment it lands on grid, it lets out a huge area of effect DD and wipes out ALL frigate/destroyer vessels on grid.

Discuss please! Would love to hear your thoughts.

Edit: it has been said to me that it would be good to have the frignaut on scan in capital letters so people can see it easier (i.e.: THE FRIGNAUT)

Not only does this combine ideas that have already been mostly dismissed (T3 BS, Drifter super weapon) but it *seems* overpowered. Once it lands how the hell do you stop it in a frig?

I fail to see how a large population of frigates is a problem, but then again I fly lots of frigates.

Also, a battleship with bonuses designed specifically to kill newbies is a bad thing. Most newbies already aim towards larger and larger hulls before they really have the support skills to, well, support them. This hull will simply encourage more newbies down that road to losing ships they can't afford to lose.

I think a ship which has bonused AOE weapons (Smartbombs) would be cool, perhaps with bonuses which bring it on par with a Smartbombing Battleship in a Red Giant wormhole system as an example. I think a blanket AOE superweapon ship which immediately kills frigates/destroyers is a bad idea, there should be counter-play involved. A Double Damage Double Smartbomb range ship would at least be interesting (Any Frigates in scram range die quickly, but you're not invulnerable to frigates which can stay at 20km and hold you down), and also gives frigate pilots way to avoid it by moving away. Which could make said battleship fitted with an MJD an interesting option. You'd also be every effective against drones which you can draw on you, without it being a 'good bye to all drones on grid' weapon. It would also be a very strong 'firewall' ship with smartbombs against Bombs/Missiles.

How does a T3 Battleship enter a small FW complex?

If it is in a command position in fleet, it should also boost something something Combat Battlecruisers.

You could've just said "I hate frigates."

Besides, pro pvp is done in cruisers.

Frigates - Frignaut

Destroyers - ?

And btw you have cool power of imagination.

So how about Titsnaut, an anti-titan tool lets say able to fit all 4 DD's and welp mostly everything from grid.
