I wonder if the New BCs will get the stealth bomber treatment ie a specific bonus that lets the big guns fit?

All in all I love the idea, I'm a fan of BC sized ships and this sounds cool. Also, it's nice to see CCP put in something that can actually be called a BATTLE CRUISER lol, the current BCs (big ships with crusier sized guns) would have more properly been called "Heavy Cruisers" imo.

Do we really want yet an other fail-rail platform? Every single caldari railgun platform with the exception of the harpy is one big pile of junk. And since we have yet to be told what the "hybrid fix" will be i'd rather stay on the safe side and say: please no more gunboats for caldari.

Gallente are so bad that even the humble capsule has more kills than any of the gallente ships.

Can't wait to see the next 3 ships. Tornado looks pretty sweet.

One question though (very important). Can I walk around inside the ship? Will it have stripper pole?

Whilst being somewhat epic, I suspect that these are going to be ridiculously priced.

We had new T3 ships promised some time back, and T3 battlecruisers was suggested. That given that these are coming mean that these are going to be new T3 ships?

GIven that T3 cruisers are 400-500m+ (a cheap Tengu puts you out about 450m at the moment), T3 battlecruisers will probably be about double that. All the people predicting blobfests are either very rich or er... stupid...

Tier 3, not tech 3.


Why would they be ridiculous, these are tier 3 BCs, they'll have BPOs and BPCs, production will be like any other tech 1 ship.

They will be capable of similar damage output as a battleship but obviously all that damage comes at a price.They won‘t be able to tank like a battleship, but what they lack in the tanking department the right pilot should be able to somewhat make up for with speed and distance management.


But a shield hurricane is already ridiculous DPS with little tank but it can actually get this....HIT BCs with medium autos instead of larges.
