I fly battleships, both Caldari and Minmatar. Have been thinking about training for Gallete, since they're supposed to get balanced, but that would mean training armor skills and such, not really interested in that, so I'll stick with Scorps and Maelstroms. Only reason I would have a Gallente ship is just so I can say I have it, though being able to fly a Rattlesnake would be cool. Still waiting for a Caldari/Minmatar faction ship though.

Rephrasing: The fact that alot of people tend not to include battleships in their gang due to their lack of faith in the ship-class paradoxely makes it more viable and easier for solo battleship pilots.

Massive Fleet Fight = BS
Small Scale Fleet / Roaming Gang = everything EXCEPT a BS.

You really can't blame people, for not wanting to fly BS's

Show them a Blaster Megathron in action. If that doesn't get their pants roused nothing will.

Neut Pests...

Neut Phoons...

Sentry Phoons....

Alpha Maels....

Scorch Geddons....

smart bombing Rokhs...

Triple rep Hyperions....

The most fun i have ever had is solo roaming in a neut pest, cause nothing short of a carrier or a serious gang can stop ya.

BSs can be a lot of fun.

Make sure you have the LOGI, Remote energy emission and Remote Shield emission skils all at V otherwise you'll **** up the chain.

also before you engage in ANY KIND OF FLEET AS A NEW LOGI PILOT do this:
Go to the test servers, get moved into the test systems, get in a Shield fleetwith a few more logis and practtice!

As a logi, if you do not know EXACTLY what your doing your death to your fleet,
if you know what you're doing you're a goddess and you'll get lots of "gj logis" and "n1 logis" at the end.

also other logi pilots hate it when their cap runs dry becouse of someone in the chain to slow or not paying attention.
expirienced logi pilot here.

Okay being a more experienced noob and an admitted carebear I decided to devote time into training up this account with an alt to have a perfectly skilled mining team. I started out thinking a BS would be grand and then after getting a "bigger" ship and not having the skills I realized not only will it take time to get to the point I can fit one right but it will be damn expensive to keep losing them. Now the plan is to finish skilling up for high sec mining and then work on my other skills getting into a BS over time while I gain operating capital mining. Of course I also do some missions and a few lowsec roams in frigs (especially with Eve Radio) but my main goal is to meake ISK while skills train so I can make isk other ways at a later point in time. I figure in a few more months (maybe longer) you might see me in a well fitted BS but untill I can the smaller the "combat" ship the better because the skills take less time to train to 5.

Before anyone says it yes I know there are other ways that are "better" to make my ISK but I actually like mining. It's a personal choice and I can play in the sandbox my way.

BTW my alt should be in a BS before this my main because I am only going hulk 5 and not orca 5 as well like I am with Rama. The alt will eventually have BS5 for all races as well as 5 in all lower classes then get advanced skills going. Rama is going to stick with Minnie ships through BS then work on advanced and go to Cap ships It took me a while to come up with a plan and now that I haveone my intention is to stick with it because I realize it takes months and even years to get from noob to decent pilot in this game..

sounds good to me.
just a tip, your certificates are good waypoints, the core certificates, you need them on all ships (energy, tank, targeting and so on) train that first, so you are able to use the ships you get in the future properly.

I do not want to see a T1 fitted Abaddon!!!!
