Why not? There are Faction Cruisers and Faction Battleships. And they would be awesome ships. I think there is a need for one between the Cruisers and the Battleships and they could be based on current designs.

After looking at the roles, attributes, fittings, and the prices of the current classes of Standard, Faction, and Advanced Battleships, and then comparing them against the current classes of Standard and Advanced Battlecruisers, I think we could use these new ships based on the mid-level pricing they would be offered at alone.

Camo colored Faction BC's. All it takes is a stroke of the programmers pen. You decide...

Supported; BC's are, after all, some of the most-used ships in the game, so having shinier versions of them for richer folks would be a good move.

Faction Harby gets my vote.

Also, more T2 BCs.

Because there is no room in the ship line-ups. The tier2 BCs are already dangerously close to tier1 BS performance and only really "lose out" due to range difference between M and L guns .. why do you think that BCs are so damn popular?

Now take those tier2 BCs (assuming you want navy versions based on those) and add the navy 'bonuses' of +50% base EHP (armour/shields/hull), roughly +20% base primary weapon damage, better maneuverability, more relaxed fittings, more slots, more drones, moremoremore.

Where do you propose they fit into to current ship line-ups? How many ships do you have to nerf to make room for your OP bling?

In short: The only way to do it is by giving the navy versions such a unique role as to make them as undesirable as the tier1 navy cruisers.

nice idea, BCs are my most favorite... maybe even pirate faction battlecruisers, if their npctypes would get their own hull...
but what about tier 3 battlecruiser? ewar battlecruiser... tank bonus + neut/ecm/scram/web range...
