I was talking with some corpmates the other day and we stumbled upon the topic of the rokh and the apoc. We both all agreed that they should have their drone bays extended to 125m3 along with their bandwidth to be able to drop some heavies on close combatants without having to jump out and back in at another point to keep sniping.
Inb4 caldari don't use drones herp derp, thoughts?

This *has* to be a troll...
If sniper battleships can do damage at short range, damage at long range, and can move as fast as a short range ship, can you see where the problem is?

No, actually I don't see where the problem lies. unless you're not fitted for close combat with a sniper ship you wont hit a thing when they're orbiting you at 2500m, hell, a sniper ship wouldn't even hit the inside of a farm if it was a gigantic farm house and the ship would be inside trying to shoot out. Even if that was a bad example you know what I mean

There really isn't an argument here. Like you state in your subject line, you're in a SNIPE ship. Range is your defense, if small ships get close you either GTFO or have smaller stuff with you to defend.

That's no fun. Okey, new argument. Give rokh a larger drone bay + bandwidth as caldari has no BSs capable of launching 5 heavy drones simultaneously, save for the state raven which sucks. The apoc isn't much better than the abaddon anyway, and the abad has 125m3 so it shouldn't be comlpaining. Thoughts?

This thread might be worth it if it said something like "The Rohk needs another 25m3 of dronebay"

the abaddon has 75...
the 'geddon has 125 you are missing some facts
anyway... if the apoc could throw out 5 heavies there would be literally no point in not flying it.
it has huge cap, good fitting, hp, great dmg projection, the only thing its missing is dps, which would be solved by the drone bay (e: 1050 dps with perfect skills, full rack of mega pulses, 3 heat sinks, and 5 oger2s).

I must have missed the part where beams and rails are the only weapons viable on the apoc and rokh respectively. Can't say I know much about pulses on apocs, but a blaster rokh is already a pretty nice ship and would be borderline OP with heavy drones.
As for the caldari comment, other races getting something doesn't automatically mean EVERY race needs it. Why do caldari get the biggest range bonus out of any of the races? Why don't the gallente have any missile boat BSs? Why don't the amarr? Why is caldari the only race to get an EWAR battleship?
The list goes on, but I immagine you get the idea. Caldari don't have any drone heavy BSs because they don't need them, I'd say a more valid complaint would be why are there no drone boats with missiles, but then they've just recently gone and fixed that now haven't they? |

Hmph, guess I'll just have to wait until the Rokh has a T2 subcap carrier variant then... Seriously, what's the point with such a big and sexy ship if it can't even field 5 heavies?

you realize there are only like 4 t1 non faction BS that can have 5 heavies right? of like 12.... why are you acting like you are getting the short end of the stick?
e: 'geddon, phoon, domi, mega (for clarity)

you shoot while aligned...and warp out when anything gets too close, then warp in on a different position.
how is this hard?

I just think it's such a waste to see the beautiful rokh hull go to waste. And it's not like I can't use 5 heavies, I have both a rattle and a domi. But it just that it hurts to see the rokh skin wasted as a sniper, it would be more visually pleasing as a carrier.

Ok, it is a troll.
The Rokh is an absolutely tiny battleship by most standards. And the Rokh *looks* like a sniper battleship to me anyway.

So to sum it up: "The Rokh should be a droneboat because I think it looks like one"
Well you know what, I think it should be a sniper, because I think it looks like one. What now? _________________________________

You know you're absolutely right, it really is a pity that the caldari carrier doesn't look a thing like the rokh... |
