How many people are using the new battlecruisers?

Which one are you using?

How are you using them?

Are many of you trying them solo?

And finally, are many people using them in lowsec, nullsec fleets?

Confirmed that the first thing I did on patch day was build, fly, kill with, then lose a Naga in a nullsec fleet, so absolutely. And they're flying all around my area in null cause everyone wants to try them out.

the ones I put on the market are selling (albeit slower than I'd like), so I imagine people are flying with them and asploding them.

One of the bitter points of a good bittervet is the realisation that all those SP don't really do much, and that the newbie is having much more fun with what little he has. - Tippia

I saw a Tornado for sale, but I wasn't convinced that it was new, the rust seemed almost.... reprocessed. Not new rust, but like rust from the wings of a damage Maelstrom.

On a more serious note, I'm waiting for the market flood to lower the prices before I waste any time on one.

Nope, they seem totally useless in a wormhole so I'm not bothering.

have all 4. havent used the oracle yet as my laser skills are BAD. Naga and Talos are nice (LOVE the look of the talos), for some reason i don't like the tornado as much as i thought i would.

toyed around with everything from high sec anoms (to see how well they deal with frigs) to sparring with other ships...and have blown a few up (my own, lol) doing stupid **** with them.

No, my combat toon is Caldari and can't use hybrids, have better stuff to waste skill training on, too bad cuz I really liked the Naga.

Whomever is making the last few years decisions on what changes are to be implemented in this game, must hate Eve with all their being.

Sure.

Actually I was interested in how many people have seen them killed as well. Maybe KB stuff on them as well.

Oh and fail fits would be fun to see lol.

Because flying the Tornado would have saved me from the 40 man gang that instantly scrambled looking to get one of the first T3 killmails amirite? Blink

For the record I've flown them all in combat now and my favorite is still the Naga.

No - I extensively tested them on Sisi, so I'm not in a hurry to try them.

I'll wait until the price stabilizes at a low level and then get a few tornados, which - as usual - completely outclasses all the other races...

I'd think they'd be great for PVP in wspace. Tiny mass and all that?
