I'm gonna get a reputation for just linking to old threads pretty soon here, but this has been discussed at great length recently. So have a linky.

But that was a good thread, with lots of discussion on the fact, so I think it's reasonable to do so.

But that's just it. This is just another stealth givens me a faction draek plz thread. These things pollute S&M and other subforums on a regular basis. Anyway, at least the gap between cruisers and BCs will shrink with rebalancing and that may help halt the parade of these bad threads.Ugh

It's this thread again...

As stated many times before (including statements by DEVS) it would be silly OP and completely mess up any sort of balance.

Well they actualy mantioned it in one of their Ballincing one ship at a time Dev blogs.

With the reballancing of ships and the racialisation of Destroyers and Battlecruisers there would be an opening for navy and Pirate ships.

so there might be navy/pirate battlecruiser but not before the reballance gets there, which isn't anytime soon I imagion.

So what? That's not a good reason not to discuss it again. Between each time this same subject is discussed, new players join the game, old players come back and some players keep thinking about the subject while looking for a good answer on how it could be implented.

And without a constant stream interesting new threads popping up, people stop visiting the forum, so when someone posts a question, nobody answers, people leave the game, the forum dies, the game dies.

On the subject of new ships though, Navy Battlecruisers make way more sense then Pirate ones. A Gurista Battlecruiser would have to step in between the Gila and the Rattlesnake as well as have a Drone bonus combined with a Rocket setup, making it almost completely pointless or invalidating other currently viable choices. Hence making it an overall bad idea.

Well if you look at navy ships, they are generally geared to be something like a stepping stone between T1 and T2 ships. You pay a bit more for something like a T1.5 ship. When you apply that to BCs and create a ship that is half way between a BC and a Command Ship, I can see why CCP probably thought it was pointless.

Oh god.

Would prefer if they released Navy Tier 3 Battleships and racial variants of other cruisers than BC's.
