With the advent of subsystems and T3 Strategic cruisers, isn't it time the work horse of every major fleet got a facelift? I'm talking about the main battleship.
Of course, there are T2 battleships: Marauders that are too expensive for fleet engagements, and Black Ops ships for niche fleet roles. Faction BS are nice, but they're really just minor variations on the same theme, and they tend to be really expensive, so they seldom appear in fleet battles when you expect to lose your BS anyway.
Bottom line - I'd like to see a new T3 battleship platform for each race that includes BS level subsystems. It's hard to think when you're not used to it. |

I think it would make more sense for CCP to introduce T3 moduler cruisers first, and then after that get to work on battleships.

No Seriously, are you on crack? Marauders are to expensive for fleet engaments? T3 cruiser cost between 1.5b to 2.0b, i would think t3 battleships would be near the 5b mark.
Maybe you need to think this one thru a bit more. |

You're ignoring something though. CCP doesn't want the t3 cruisers to cost that much; they were hoping for a high adoption rate. To that end they're going to try to make their production easier in the next patch iirc, and I'm certain if they create t3 battleships the same philosophy would hold. |

It would not work, why? two reasons:
1) BSs will be optimized for RR
2) BSs will be optimized for buffer tank
players will only focus on these points, provided subsystem follows cruisers route. take a look at black ops, it tried to breakaway from conventional BSs work and it some what fail.
Cruisers on the OTOH have a lot of roles to fill, from heavy tackling, DPS, recon etc. thus making modular design work. BSs dont have that much roles to fill. |

Um... aren't the modular T3 strategic cruisers already, um... T3 modular cruisers? Or am I missing something?

Sorry, I meant to write T3 frigates.

WTB 10 billion is BS.
But seriously. Even if t3 cruisers go down to 300mil isk as intended, t3 BS will still sit at 1.5 bil.
T3 frigates will be affordable. Probably less than 100mil. 40 - 60 ish. They'll be seen flying around a bit. |
