No.

Why? Because I'm doing alright in my Paladin which took me 120 days to train for, and it's large t2 guns 70 days and 20 days for it's armor ^_^

what you've done there is look at one mineral...there are seven and the proportion of trit compared to other minerals does not scale proportionally with size.

a Kestrel is <65% trit
a Raven is 75% trit

yea, i used tritanium, but fact still remains i can build 500+ kestrel for what takes to build 1 raven

You realize how dumb sounds to waste the ships bonuses for only 1 of them work? Scorpoin needs tohave at least same ECMstr than falcon. The falconitself isbearely used nowadays.

Therarest battleships insmaller scale combat ( I do nto care for blobs, on those the battleshisp do not need a role, they need ehp and damage projectiononly) the rarest battleships are the scoprion , tempest and abaddon. The tempest shoudl simply get a 7th turret if it sso hard for ccp to even listen one fo the severalgreat options the communitybrouht up.

Take a look at the cockatrice proposal. It ends up with slightly more DPS than a raven as well as tank similar to, if not better than a rokh, and is missiles and shields as a combat battleship.

Plenty of ships use a three slot tank, if you want more then you are going to have to think about either making sacrifices or using the raven with a tackle buddy.

if im honest if i was to make a new shield and misile ship id like to make it RHML based rather than torp or cruise use

Background:
This ship designed secretly by the caldari ship engineers was designed to be a anti-cruiser/frig battleship to help out the other battleships in a fleet. Its role was to hide among the other fleet memebers until the enemy forces got under the tracking of the battleships entering the battleships formation, the frigates and cruiser would then be met with a devastating volley from these support rolled battleship giving the friendly cruiser and frigates the chance to chase down other enemies on field. It was then halted as all research went to making the T3 cruisers and destroys.


Background 2 (for minmatar add on) :
the minmatar and caldari engineers never worked together but a hint emerged that hidden defects of engineers from both caldari and minmatar started working together to design a powerful ship to combat the ever rising of the heavy assault cruisers and frigates changing the battleship into a truly frightening powerhouse. Sadly as the blueprints where finnished a space anomaly accorded destroying the outpost leaving a site that was banned entering and protected by hired merc's the site was named "natari anomaly" some say you can find them in low-security space as Data sites.

well i said it because the entire rest of the community has been managing with 5 and 6 slots for about 10 years...that was all really lol.

no dude, but never mind kinda de-railing.

how about we make the current battleships viable first
