In space with 0 resistance I believe the place of thrusters doesn't matter...

Not true, momentum, inertia, force, etc are all still in full effect. Astronaut's still have to push off the walls to move around in the ISS.


To clarify, the three large and three small thrusters in the centre mass are fine, but the extra 20 smaller thrusters at the top are just silly, and I imagine will look a mess in game.

But imagine all the trails it would leave!

Now can't wait to see the page about the Ascog. I hope you didn't think that we Caldari loyalists wouldn't notice it on the screen.

Ok, now I have been on sisi (today)

Happily the sidething, which I complained about earlier, appears to be gone - or at least it is on my settings. +1

And the bonus to energy turret usage is actually -75% effectively as espected, though it takes BC V to get there, which is a much steeper SP investment than Cruiser V (thinking of the harbinger, to obtain similar cap).
However, this does not go hand in hand with Ytterbiums talk in the latest video. I suggest moving it to 10% per cruiser instead of 10% per BC (since you only need those two at III to get into it), but I would really prefer it being a flat -75% role bonus, unless you are really desperate to force people away from amarr (or force them into taking BC5 and fly commandships).

3 mids is not happy happy at all, for all the usual reasons.

Overall visual is ok so far, I just don't like the airgap between the 2 triangular sideplates (on either side) and the main hull, but that is almost nitpicking.
So far only the 6 center engines glow. Try to keep it like that. Those 14 round things higher up would be way too much as engine exhausts. They would really steal too much of the show from the lazers, quite apart from the inyourface annoyance when not zoomed out.

Combatwise, I am not convinced yet. To me it is screaming for a 4 hardpoint setup with a 100% bonus to large energy turrets.
And so far i pretty much stand by the somewhat heretical view of generalizing that quite a bit as mentioned previously, granting all the tier3 battlecruiser complete flexibility in picking large guns:
fitting bonus to all gun types
4 hardpoints with 100% to large guns of any type
energy use bonuses as needed.

Anyway, in its current state, I do not see why you would not take (or train for) a geddon/apoc/ tornado instead.

Space does have resistance. Not a lot...but more than 0. Any kind of gravity at all causes resistance in space. Space also has matter in the form of all sorts of **** flying around...specs of dust and whatever that cause resistance. And yes there is gravity in space. If you are within any of the solar systems in EvE you would as an example be effected by the gravity of a star, planet or even moon even if it is really far away. Farther away you get the less the gravity is of course. Scientists have been able to measure the minute gravitational pull of objects in space millions and millions of miles away.

Well...I digress...

Well not 3 races :) dont ask about gallente talos hehe :)

We can Say that this patch got only one good ship and it is tornado of coz.... There is something really strange that mini are the best in almost everything well not in caps and supers but we will see coz they may be tweeked. Anyway add mini skills to yours skills set :( coz ccp dont change minmatar as we know devs fave race. I may only Say that this is happening when you allow your workers to play in mmo haha

For the Love of God!
Make more than 3 med slots

UP
I really dont understand, why CCP hate shield amarr so much

Forget the shield - you will have no slot for cap booster

I'm shitting bricks

SUDDENLY, i want to fly amarrian bad staf

this thing would be really bad with some useful bonus like tracking or optimal and 4 meds

btw
does anybody noticed THIS:
Tornado: rof + falloff bonus
Talos: dmg + tracking bonus
Naga: topedo velocity OR optimal bonus (coz there is no sense in fitting both torps and hybrids)
Oracle: dmg + CAPACITOR USE

sooooo....
WHY oracle and naga have only one useful bonus?

not to speak of "50% reduction in the capacitor need of Large Energy Turrets"
so oracle already has capacitor bonus - why should i be happy about second one?

CCP, please, give some bad sh*t to amarr

Well actually I'm happy when I have Oracles in my SISI fleets, they have this important stuff that is range versatility and application. Strong enough tanks to not make logis cry good speed, overall I'd say a good ship.

So don't be bored about your thrusters placement, it's less important than some other BC's being completely and utterly useless once again for fleet engagements where usual range is between 60 to 80km

Haven't try small gang engagement type, so I can't say who good/bad this Oracle is at this game but I'm willing to think it does he's game very well.
