Will this be a Tech 2 BC (i.e. require BC V)? Any other skill prereqs that we will need to train as well? Or is this information being saved for another dev blog?


All information regarding the slot layout, fitting requirements and bonuses will come out in a separate blog for all the ships Smile

Able to fit L guns but not enough pg for L repair stuff, I suppose that means a cruiser-like powergrid with a role bonus to weapon powergrid. And fast cap recharge, or the amarr one will run dry fast.

Sound very nice, BS-like dps and range without massive plating or active tanking. But I wonder if they really have a place in the present meta-gaming. Against another BC gang built around Hurricanes/Drakes, L weapon tracking might be too much of a problem to be compensated by a bit more dps. Against the current Abbadon blobs, the BS's buffer tank would give them an overwhelming advantage.

We'll need to do some math once the stats are known, I suppose. But I predict the shield-based ones (and Tornado in particualr) will be overpowered because the very low PG requirement of large sheld extenders and autocanons will still allow them to have a respectable passive buffer.

CCP please make the Gallente ship of this new BC line worth flying. We really need some love.

Vertical ships FTW!
My first reaction: OMG OVERPOWERED! But I guess it will be balanced in some form or way :)

I have to say, that you say it will be easier for newer pilots to get into but then it requires battleship sized guns?


I'd say that's interesting because the major issue at the moment is that T2 Large Guns take WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY more training than training the Battleship skill.


But, hey - I'll take it - the Noobs can suffer at my awesomeness.


But now I have to train T2 Large Projectiles ;p
