It wasn't untanked and it didn't die.

Nope.

People just need to fly these ships before spouting myths such as you just didBlink

Somehow I missed all the battleship fleets that Goons have been fielding. Wait? You mean they aren't using them en masse? How can this be? They are the awesomest!!1!

Exactly. I think battleships generally aren't tanky enough.

However, the design is rock paper scissors. You shouldn't fly a capital solo, you shouldn't fly a battleship solo. T3 cruisers ... well ... yeah Straight

Frigates are killed by destroyers and cruisers (game would be better without destroyers, I feel) and cruisers are destroyed by battle cruisers and battleships. Battleships are destroyed by frigates and capitals. Capitals are destroyed by fleets of sub-caps and other capitals.

The little T1 tackle frigate is meant to be able to orbit in and pin down the battleship. Then the others pile in on it. My problem is that a few frigates can take out a batteship so fast that people can't even warp from a station to a gate to help you.

I am quite happy for them to do it but it should take awhile. If you go into hostile space alone and are caught that is what should happen.

EVE is becoming shallow and puerile; it will satisfy neither the veteran nor the "WoW" type crowd in the transition.
