Please have the Caldari one be Missiles. Please!



lol if the caldari one gets missiles it will be a dangerous ship..... like a heavy bomber if it has torp launchers fitted.... perfect for taking down supers if flown in large groups

So we are getting a ship with the firepower of a battleship and the mobility (and probably price tag) of a battlecruiser?

The world is a community of idiots doing a series of things until it explodes and we all die.

I guess mudflation is also a kind of balance.

I'm glad to see CCP is getting around to putting some more ships in. Gonna be interesting to see the stats.

See you later, drakes. And good riddance. 1600mm Alphastrike BCs are gonna be main fleet weapon for every alliance.


Also: Lemme see, large neutrons on a gallente BC hull = Myrmythron?

So, in other words, they will be actual battlecruisers, unlike the old ones. Nice!

…on the other hand, this means I now have to train BS-sized weapons even though I'm a sub-BS pilot. Damn you! Twisted

That said, you say that “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”. This is something of a problem.

If you're going to make them battlecruisers with battleship guns, then they should tank worse than battlecruisers, not worse than battleships. Otherwise, you have something that ends up with more firepower than a BC, and it “pays“ for this by having the tank of a BC… which isn't actually paying anything at all — it's just a battlecruiser that is much better than the tier-1/2 models.
