Battleships take long to skill up effectively. So they put L guns on battlecruisers. Following the same logic, I assume it's only a matter of time till we undock in XL-armed battleships.

I'd settle for a battleship with fighters instead of drones.

So... a Battleship with guns that each cost more than the ship itself...

Nah...

Pros come with cons, and vice verse. I'm looking forward for any kind of interesting ship-weapon combination.
For example, fighter drones on battleships (as Vicker Lahn'se said) sounds like an interesting idea!

wouldn't a BS with 3 XL guns do less damage than a marauder? I checked a megathron with 3 XL ions and it did less DPS than a kronos with 4 large ions. Anyway, isn't a dreadnought just a BS with XL guns?


Because the thron doesn't get an XL damage bonus, if it did then it would most likely outdamage it :)

CCP should most definitely organize ship design contests once a year (preferably before each update, so that each update brings in a few ships too).

XL guns track for ****, you really don't want to use them on mobile ships.

But I guess they beat the crap out of stationary objects (POS ect.) ?

As one of the most prolific ship designers in eve current I am going to have to put my foot down on this and say no.

1 CCP needs to make thier own designs just as often.

2 Balance issues with introducing so many ships so quickly.

3 Warfare Options. They're getting slimmer by the year.

So I can see one, hmm every 2 years easy which means implimentation cycles of every 3 yeas which would be entirely too long.

Two and three are the biggest reasons though.
