I agree with the other posters, in that the current battleship lineup is still in need of reworking their stats and abilities, before adding new hulls.

That said, I like some of the OP's ideas, and the fact that he is willing to crunch the numbers in order to balance his concepts against the current lineups, instead of the usual 'über ship' designs we see so many of, speaks well of him.

Overall, +1.

Thanks.

I'm also tenatively going to put out a proposal for a line of t1 support battleships, similar to the t1 logi cruisers and frigates done at battleship scale.

I've been waiting since 2006 for a logical progression for logistics pilots. Where is my logi battlecruiser and battleship?

Currently a logi pilot jumps from a T2 cruiser into a carrier....

Battlecruisers don't need a logistics class, it doesn't make much sense to.

as for battleship logi.

T1 battleship logi would be too powerful for the following:

+small to medium gang warfare it would cause stalemates thanks to the high sensor strength and tank
+would displace T2 logistics cruisers in the majority of PvE because of tank

thanks to large number of slots and spacious fitting. (T1 battleships have 18 to 19 slots each)

T1 battleship logi would be pointless for the following:
+large scale subcapital engagements because it'll be alpha'd off grid.

If it was a T2 concept, logistics battleships would outright replace cruiser logi.

assuming you went by current logi rules which is rep amount, range, activation cost and cap transfer.

for T1 concept you limit it just range increases and rep activation cost,
for T2 concept you include new bonuses for stuff like projected ECCM and remote sensor boosters while excluding anything related to maintenance drones, fitting requirements and remote rep/cap amount.
