sounds good in theory but in practice their e-war bonuses would infringe on e-war ships so there isn't much room for manouvre
and i think there is no reason to change them a different hull sporting the same bonuses is a role in itself.

The current cruisers have ewar bonuses already and their are more than two types of vessel roles. Snipers, Brawlers, Active tankers, mid range kiters, short range kiters, high alpha, speed tank, versatility, close range speed tankers, high tracking, low tracking high damage, then you have all the variations on these with different weapons systems or numbers of utility high slots.

Faction Cruisers are just mini versions of the battleships, their is a high risk of redundancy when you just scale it up when considering how far apart the cruiser and battleships stats are. Maybe the guristas battlecruiser could be more missile reliant than the gila. The new blood raiders ship could receive no bonuses to neutralizer or web strength but to range making it different from both bhaalgorn and ashinmu along with perhaps a increase in weapons range. The new angel ship could have a bonus to afterburner strength and no range bonus but have high tracking and damage. The serpentis battlecruiser could have the same webifier bonus but it could also have a bonus to active tanking in exchange for less dps.
I never said the new battlecruiser should be a mini scorpion or arazu.

Just noticed the sensor strengths on these ships seem kinda high.

For once, and I still can't believe I'm saying this, I agree with Ted. *shiver*

Given that the current pirate ships are basically the same ship on 3 scales, maybe its time to fill the gaps in between with alternative, yet suitable, load outs.
