So I was watching a video on YouTube and heard mention of a new Amarr BS due to be released this Friday, but have been unable to find any official announcement of this. Is there any truth to this and could somebody provide a source?

Thanks.

It's lore. No new BS for you

I'm pretty sure if CCP was to come out with a new Amarr Battleship they would have one for each of the other races as well.

Well I think it's maybe to counter the Drifters. Which the Amarr Navy seem to be doing.

That's the way they normally operate, but I always thought it would be neat if they came out with a different sized faction ship for each faction.

Minmatar get a new faction frigate
Amarr get a new faction battleship
Caldari and Galente can fight over who gets what inbetween

Just something to differentiate between the empires.

The Amarr Navy (as in the NPC group) are building a new imperial flagship, an Abaddon-class battleship.

So Her Imperial Majesty gets a new battleship. We don't.

You could be right. But if the Amarr Navy need a new advanced BS to combat the Drifters, then I'm guessing we will at some point too.

You can make that guess if you want. There's no evidence to suggest we will get new battleships at this point, and the Amarr ship is based off an existing battleship hull, not a new one.

The 'new ship' mentioned in the video is the new Imperial Flagship, an NPC ship.

Oh, and it's not intended to fight Drifters. It's Her Imperial Majesty's personal ship (the Empress will be the pilot). It's a ceremonial ship, with enough defences so that it can survive should it be attacked.

Fair enough pal. Just confused by the video and its comments. Delonewolf is usually a good source for info.

Did someone mention T2 Abaddon?

It's going to be beam laser bonused, so it can't use scorch, but not have enough fitting room for tachs.

Another round of Scope vids on CCP's youtube channel, that's what I smell. Doubt we get a ship for it, though.

I also smell BBQ? (looks out window) Oh, neighbors are grilling. I wonder if it's ribs like it was last time.
