Reps out to 70km vs your 15km.
Has more cap and half the sig with same tank.
Pop in a 800mm and you can get it cap stable.
Much much cheaper.

Can't rep when you're cloaked.

As a logi ship survivability is extremely important (needing to be within 10 to 15km means you can't warp out when you're about to pop if you're in a bubble, you'll likely be in optimal with the combat ships, you'll likely be in optimal of jams, scrams and disruptors). Range of reps are extremely important. Sig of 70 vs 150 is a very good trade off as is the range. Dead logi's can't rep. Cost is also important. So is losing a weeks training.

Your logi still has 10-13km range. Give me slightly less reps for an extra 60km range anyday. They're baby logi good for certain things but they're not fleet logi for large battles. Therefore they're not as good, or anywhere near as flexible and functional as dedicated logi ship. Also point out that at that range interdiction nully nerfs them with one less slot and doesn't help when theyr'e scramed or disrupted which they will be.

Don't get salty I put large reppers on the Oneiros. There's a reason CCP gave the ships a 65% reduction in remote repair power fitting, wasn't my idea, they were designed to use large reppers :)

Baltec is clearly wrong as I demonstrated with evidence.

Edit: and cost is a factor in terms of logi. Logi die a lot, logi pilots are hard enough to get already, while they might be reimbursed for lost faction mods depending on alliance they can't be reimbursed for the loss of skillpoints unless people start giving out injectors :)

Lol.

What you are faiing to understand is large reppers on a Oneiros, a ship with a bonus so it can fit large reppers, doesn't make the ship overpowered.

What makes ships like the Proteus, the Tengu, an Onyx or any other ship that was later added to the game is:

Large, Medium and Small mods were introduced into the game at launch. At that time we only had T1 ships. T1 ships have T1 resists.

Putting a large plate on a T1 ship doesn't add that much hp. There were no boosting ships at that point in time either so there was no multiplicative problem with it.

When T2 and T3 ships came out they had huge resists, at 90% base resists which some T2, T3 ships get its the equivalent of turning that 1 battleship plate into many plates given originally when plates came out resists were 30-40%. Remember plates used to be in competition with hardeners, at 90% you don't need many hardners so you just add plates, then you add your booster ship, which is again multiplicative.

Same goes for capacitor batteries and shield boosters.

Its the reason putting a XL booster and a large cap battery on a tengu takes it from boosting 800 to 2.5k making the ship virtually unkillable by any other ship or small gang without serious nueting pressure.

165k EHP, 574 DPS, 210 m/s (516 m/s with AB running), sig 176, Cost 625 mil.


So the T3 cruiser is faster (its cap stable running both its guns and its AB) , half the sig (or 12x smaller if the mega is using its MWD), a bit more firepower thanks to the insane tank allowing for 2 damage mods and to cap it all off, the damn thing is cheaper.

Who bothers with that?

You generally have the time between these fights to get that skill back.

We still have a cruiser that thinks its a battleship here.

130k EHP + Remote Armor Repper, 609 dps, 182m/s (431m/s ab), sig 305, cost 577,000,000 including 4% grid implant

So cheaper than the T3, more dps, twice as much cargo, 30k less tank but 224 armor reps x number of ships in fleet, discounting any logi. Has utiliity for web (fitted) or tracking disruptor, damps etc etc, better range, slightly slower until in web range. Could also ditch the remote rep and fit a nuet

Clearly its a match for the T3 and my money would be on this over the T3 anyday in a fleet, its a better ship.

Fact is its not the T3's that overpowered, its the addition of the oversized mods and the battleships are vastly underpowered.

If T3's were overpowered then you wouldn't be able to fit a non-T3 to counter them. I clearly just fit a non-T3 fleet ship that is more versatile and better than Baltec1's fleet T3 therefore either a) they're not overpowered or 2) T3's are overpowered and Brutix Navy Issues are also overpowered. Do you think Brutix Navy Issues are overpowered?

In regards to Debating:


How to Debate

Having said that your statement that contains no proof, is not an argument and therefore is not debating. Its just an statement of opinion without backup.

Its clearly been demonstrated that:

They are large - meaning they have less ehp due to sig tanking and speed tanking. Large is a bad thing in EvE unless you're a supercapital with millions of HP.

They do not have lots of firepower, the siz size of their guns and the sig radius and speed of anything smaller than a battleship negates their firepower to the point they usually do less dps to the target than the small target does to them.

They have range but given the mobile nature of EvE combat that range is easily negated by the smaller faster ships which can easily dictate the range that battleships engage at.

Given the nature of EvE combat, CCP made the decision in 2005 that most ships were supposed to be fleet / gang ships not just the battleship. Very few fights in EvE are solo fights. The majority of fights are small gang to fleet fights. Which makes the battleships are not meant to be solo comment moot.
