With the upcoming changes to Battlecruisers skills, ie making them racial. It makes BC a de facto new class of ship rather than big bulky cruisers with more dps. which is what i gather CCP was going for in the first place.

Anyway since we all like new ships to play with and in most cases the models already exist I propose CCP intorduce Navy and Pirate Issue Battlecruisors.

Brutix Navy Issue
Ferox Navy issue
Prophecy Navy Issue
Cyclone Fleet issue

as far as names for the Pirate class and bonus' for the ships i leave to brighter minds than i. but i imagine a good amount of fun could be had with these ships and they could add some always useful variation to pvp. and hell with any luck and reasonable LP costs the Navy ships could actually be cheap enough to regularly PVP with

That would be nice. Same for destroyers. Things shouldn't be implemented half way. There needs to be a t1, t2 and faction version of everything IMO.

Sure......

I've seen this before however, and there's the issue of finding a place for them

They would probably need different bonuses than the rest of their parent line.

Without doing that, it would muddle the border between them too much. For example, the sansha battlecruiser would put out nearly the dps of a nightmare, with amazing tracking. Likely obsoleting both the phantasm and the nightmare.

The issue is that the bonuses are intentionally overpowered, and there's a trend of having the "half the guns double the damage" approach.

Take the cruor as another example. Adding a battlecruiser sized one would mean that it could...... have extra mids? Have extra highs? more lows?

I think if either would be done, they would need a different set of bonuses from their parent line.

As long as there are no Faction Drakes or Canes, this might work.

yeah i purposefully left out the tier2 battle cruisers cause eve would explode if a faction drake was released. Plus im pretty sure all of the existing pirate BC models use the Tier 1 BC when they use any at all.

Agreed... How about Aegis destroyers also? (see sig)

Tactical destroyers... I'll take a dozen Gallente, please.

It is a rare sight - to see carebears and blobbers work together. But when they do, the results are spectacular!
Drake Navy Issue is a shining example of what two opposite factions can accomplish together. Designed no longer only for low-skill and low-skillpoint capsuleers, the Navy Issue is a pink-painted beast's power shine so brightly that it blinds everyone else, frind and foe alike.

OR...



They could fix the broken ships already in the game before adding new ones to the thoughtless jumble heap of a ship roster we have.

this is it
