FYI on the 07 show the other day Fozzie said that in the next expansion (or maybe the one after that) Hyperspatial Velocity Optimizers will get their drawback changed from reducing CPU to increasing Sig Radius. They felt that the CPU penalty was too restrictive for fitting and at least for a BS the added sig radius doesn't matter that much I suppose.

Battlecruisers are also getting a boost in warp speed to be closer to cruisers.


All of which is also posted here with a nice "[April]" tag on it.

Any BS can be adapted for 3au warps rather easily with mid grade warp implant set and a single t1 hyperspacial rig. I also advise a single nano.



If that's all it takes to make a BS viable for small gang roams, then why all the hating on BSs in GD and all the tears about how they need massive buffs or they're completely worthless?

Not sure but it can be that 'mid grade warp implant set' has some cost?

You don't need to go 3au to be effectiveBlink

I used to use a sniper apoc in sniper HAC fleets to get dem km's

The key is not speed, but agility so you can align quickly

Micro Jump Drive + long-range turrets is sort of the intended mechanic for bringing BSes back into PVP, I think.

Though, personally, if I were trying for this I think the most fun way to do it would be to take a Dominix, shield tank it like it's 2009, use the excess low slots to speed up the align/warp to keep up, then play mini-carrier with mobile drones and remote rep.

Then, I'm the one guy that actually thinks the cat-herding exercise of drones is fun, instead of something I'm obligated to do because it's mechanically powerful.

Fellow people that fly around in spaceships....

It is a sad time in eve.... where the battleship is relegated to the sidelines... they are used in the sad act of shooting red crosses, shooting immovable objects, or are potatos Sad

So i implore you. Lend me you fits.
In this world of cruiser online, give me your recommendations for battleships that i can take on a cruiser roam!

The Rules-

1) Not a Mach ( Roll im not making it that easy)

2) Has to keep up with a cruiser fleets (armour with armour, shield with shield) SO around the 8 sec align time and 3AU warp speed.

Thats it. What have you used? what would you recomend? what do you think might be fun?

I like the idea of a nano Bhall with smart bombs...

Edit: i know there are some special snowflakes around using PvP marauders and machs etc...

I probably can fit a Nyx for you that kites interceptors but a battleship.....

This thread inspired me to buy a geddon, take it to russian space, and die horribly. It was a lot of fun, thank you. Also if my PVP skills were worth a damn I probably would have won/kiled a bunch and escaped. (Didn't target the hyena first... I know I'm a scrub)

Nano AAR RLML Phoons are picking up popularity in Amarr/Min FW space where I fly. I've seen quite a few people fielding them, usually with a couple rigor rigs, minimal tank and lots of speed. The damage application is really good against Cruisers with the hull bonus + rigors, it can do 900+dps with it's wide dronebay, heavy neut for crippling flimsy tacklers, and it's quite fast too. I think you can hit 2k with heat and some nanos. Also by being armor fit you get MWD + MJD + Point + Web + Cap Booster so it has alot of utility mids as well and MJD forces people into scram range if they want to kill you.
