IMHO if we had bombs that could hit cruisers and made T3 cruisers a bit more balanced we'd solve the battleship problem.

This gives me an idea:

fast bombs--they travel twice as fast and detonate in half the time. They deal significantly less damage but have a smaller explosion radius. They'll still crush frigs just like the big bombs though frigs might get a warp off in time. Cruisers will be vulnerable cause they likely can't warp off in time.

A fantastic idea, I love it... In fact, it sounds familiar...

One thing is baffling me, is that in this game, a battleship can be taken Down by a gang of frigs. Ive even been part of taking Down a battleship With 6 T2 frigs.

Just the huge size of the battleship, would suggest that it should wear a armor that would refuse any frig, destroyer or some crusers, since they couldnt be able to fit large enough guns to even penetrate a battleship. Also, due to the size, Battleship should be able to have, in addition to their large hislots, have a large array of med and small gunslots...

If this was "humans" from Earth that colonized New Eden, they would bring some "history" from Earth, which indicated that battlleship didnt only pack large guns, but a Collection og smaller guns to.

This should also apply to battlecruisers that couldnt be penetrated by frigs or some destroyers (T1)... and cruisers would have better protection against frigs... ect ect


Tho Electronic warfare should all ships be vunerable to...


So... make battleships what they should be... a all-round battleship...




Let me anwser this in what i think will give you a good idea of whats going on here...

Lets take the Sphinx in egypt for example, shooting it with a big rocket would without a doubt leave it in pieces right? Firing a machine gun at it would scar it and ruin its features but it would still stand, even sandstorms slowly eat away at that ancient puddy cat...

Now multiple the machine gun effect by x12 - same result as a rocket launcher,
Muliple the density of the sandstorm by x24 same result as the rocket launcher,

Nothing is impervious, everything erodes. All that matters is how long it takes.


now on the note of big guns and small guns. the larger ships are dedicated to guns their size to match other ships of their class, using every bit of space>capacitor>ammo as they can.... So there is no room for small guns...

BUT OH WAIT PLOT TWIST, there is. Drones are your small guns and your defense against small ships, which makes sense....why waste space and sacrifice a few turrets when you can just launch a few disposable drones.

Shield are red, Armor is too, i slapped my heavy neut, all over you. Fingers crossed, broken shattered and burned, across from the bubble and into your hull.
