Ships & Modules

I might be wrong but...

I seem to remember the forums being alive with people lamenting the 'demise of the battleship'.

These new BC's have interesting bonuses, but is anyone else a little concerned that they might further relegate the use of their bigger brothers?

Unless they have some "bonus" reducing the guns radius (yes that one) witch is for about 400m, they should have the sign radius of bs's, more speed and use same guns (number of high slots?)

Curious about this ships stats, slots layout and bonus. Atm looks just like a cheaper version of ganking bs's for high sec.

Maybe they'll have special bonuses like the vindy or nightmare, % amount bonus to large turret damage, Personaly i'm hoping for the amarr tier 3 bc to have something like the vindy with 75% bonus to large energy turret damage and only uses 5-6 guns.
And i'm pretty sure they'll have bonus to large turret cpu and / or pg use similar to SB's.

Edit: and for the love of God, please give them either 50-75% reduction to large energy turret cap usage, or a "per skill level" type of cap reduction bonus, because having a BC with BS cap levels wont realy be balanced
