Let get real, people don't try and get the bpc anymore because no one wants to fly the ship. It's not that it's just an unattractive ship (flying pile of poop) but it's skill bonuses make it hard for someone to spend the time, to spend the money and train the other carrier skill they don't have. So it would be nice to see a change of the Special Abilities it has in order to make it more worth wild.

Here is my Idea. Let’s start with the Amarr skill because having 1 Additional Warfare Link module per level is useless unless there's more to it, like maybe adding a bonus to those warfare links *5-10% bonus of effectiveness of links per level* would make it a *must have* for any large scale fleet battle with other capital ships.

Another option as well is the tanking, compared to the Aeon and the Wyvern this ship is one that cannot hold its own in a real super cap vs super cap battle. The Wyvern & the Aeon both have a 5% bonus to armor/shield resistance per level I feel this ship should have more Hit points over all or it should offer this bonus as well for the Caldari skill. Let’s face it the Wyvern's base hit points with 0 skills is 1,812,000 and the Aeon's is 1,732,000 but your faction carrier you had to get using blood sweat and tears to get only has 1,720,000 base with 0 bonuses it’ll get Dooms Day’ed by the first titan that sees it.

If someone wants the 100% bonuses to fighter, fighter bombers they are going to get a Nyx, if someone wants to give bonuses to a fleet they can fly a Hel or a Aeon, if someone wants massive tank they can get a Wyvern but what makes the only faction cap ship in the game worth all the trouble? 100% bonus to it's fighter/ bomber hit points. Not worth it in my opinion

I'm willing to hear any other pilot’s options on the idea and/or see if they agree with me that it seems like this ship no one wants or they might want it but can’t convince 30+ pilots to help them grind to get it.

Also would love to see some of those faction fighters too, maybe get those with it :D

didn't it have a speed bonus to fighters/bombers? that's pritty much the only useful bonus from the Rev. it actually has less dps than a nyx also if I remmeber correctly, even with the 100% bonus to dmg and hp, because it fields less drones overall

That's not true, the Rev can field 15 drones, that hit the target like 30. Though it really doesn't make up for the fact that everything about this ship is poo, including it's looks.
