Give battleships +25% HP across the board, then introduce 3200mm armor plates and XL shield extenders for battleships. Problem solved. Next.

So if I pay for two battleships, I get a battleship that moves like a cruiser?

One way is open.
Honestly I think BS actually must be what destroyer are to Fregate; A Super Battlecruiser obviously.
With something new never see onany shipclass.
A new rack for high slot under the current high for Large. a rack of high slot only dedicated for Light or medium weaponry.
Bs could be fitted with Full Large or a mix with Med and Small or Large and Small.

Think it a little

No, this will be so hilariously broken.

The problem with one ship is never due to another ship. This is a battleship problem and changing other ships to try and fix the problem will only result in more problems.

Battleships are too weak and it makes no sense! We need more BS only mods to get past some of the weaknesses... Or they should all be able to use the bastion module to make then unique from other classes


This is as blatantly untrue today as it was when the game fired up.

T3 cruisers either step on the toes or outright invalidate more than 50 other ships. Command ships for example are another class that many think are underpowered but in reality they are perfectly fine, they are simply outclassed by t3 boosters. T3D are another problem ship that have ruined the frigate balance because they are far too powerful.

I'd rather nerf 4 ships than buff over 50 that would inevitably cause even more balance issues.

Nightmare is a great ship, rokh I wouldn't use vs frigates as such it more of a long range anti-cruiser type ship best used in a gang(longer range blaster boat is always nice).

I like flying my barghest with RHML.

Some dudes zerg rushed me with a bunch of frigs the other day and I littered the space with their ship wrecks.

I agree battleships need a bit of a buff but I don't think we will see many big battleship fleets besides a few strat ops where you just bring the biggest thing you can.

Pls leave my machariel alone, thank you.

You can't even pay to make a battleship do what a T3 can do, so that argument is crap.

Add more T2 battleship class ships.
Maybe a T3 battleship
Also....it's okay to add skill intense ships to the game. everything does not have to be a frigate or destroyer.

No silly, you think a little. There is no law in EVE that makes you fit any ship according to what you have been told.

But here we have it, yet another victim to the oversaturation of ships we have. Back in the day when then were less ships in EVE we actually had to think outside the box and have them perfom any task we wanted them to.

Now the newer folks ask for ships that help them go to sleep at night and read them a story. Sometime less is so much more.

A t2 battleship that is focused on heavy damage output would be very nice.

Doesn't need to have massive tank like everything t2.

No you ninny - you get 2 battleships. I now understand the reasoning behind many of your conclusions and opinions on this forum. It all makes sense now!

I love the old geddon. It was a giant space penis that spewed fire and death across the battlefield. Now it lands and puffs out a few drones - visually, that makes no sense. They replaced a raging teenager of doom w/ a sputtering old man ship. Graphically it should kind of sag down at the front end at this point - more bananna shaped never being straight and stucturally sound again.

The current geddon would have been excellent if intorduced as a blood raider faction BS. They could have called it a Bhaalgorn or something to that effect. The apoc would have been a better choice to ruin. It doesn't have the classic penis outline and the t1 sniping laser BS will never be a thing again (napoc will always be a better choice).

The Fozzinator did a bad thing and should be punished.
