How about a new destroyer meant for premier anti frigate and destroyer duty. Added drone capability with gallente able to fit 5 small drones and the others either 3 or 4. Caps are larger for better stability and better mod fitting. This class can carry six high slots as opposed to 8 but has a 5% increase to bonuses. Overall hp increased 20% and able to handle microwarps better, but normal speed is roughly 10% slower.

New tier of battleship.
- 30% faster base speed
- slightly decreased drone space and hp (10% average each)
- Can fit 1 XL cannon, the rest large.
- xl cannon non race specific on cap/cpu reduction bonus
- Only 5 high slots, but 1 extra mid and low slot

No. We already have enough Battleships. I like the thought of more Destroyers though, but only if the Caldari one would be a missile-boat, as I don't have any gun-skills.

Isn't that exactly what current T1 destroyers are primarily designed for?
I mean, they just got a hell of a buff with Cucible and will probably become the nightmare of all non-dronecarrying ships (o/ Tier3 BC) once they get close.

+1 to new destroyers
+1 to one being a missle boat

Not sure what you plan to add destroyer wise, sounds exactly the same as what we already have just with a few tweaks to create the illusion of being different .. why bother? Can see the idea of pushing for the Caldari dessie to be made into a missile spammer though.
Verdict: No. Adding stuff just for the sake of adding stuff is bollocks.

The BS concept is just whack. Factor in the cost/benefit of XL guns on a <200k EHP hull and you wind up with a negative value .. abysmal tracking, about same range as L guns with 2-3x the dps at a cost that would let you buy a tier1 BS.
Verdict: Wtf?

Thanks for the comments. As far as the caldaris new destroyer having missiles, yes that was part of my idea, 6 missile slots and 5 gun slots incase they want to fit hybrids or others. I also thought each new destroyer should have at least one missile slot. As for the battleships, the point is a faster ship with less protection but better enhanced for everything above BC.

Oh, also don't hate...most ships within the same class only differ by a few tweaks.

the way you describe the new dessy.... is a cruiser.

That's a Templar, an Amarr fighter used by carriers.

How so considering it can't fit medium weapons, its faster than most cruisers, and doesn't have the tanking cap of even the lowest cruisers, though they would be closer, nor the dps.

How about some Tech 2 Teir 3 Battleships first? The Rokh, Abaddon, Hyperion and Maelstorm need some Techifying
