Thank you. Now it might actually be worth the money to buy a Megathron over a Dominix.

Seems they made the Armageddon virtually worthless with these changes, it's only selling point was it's 8 low slots. Now this is only one more than the Apoc and most other BB's but it still only has 3 medium slots which was already a major handycap.
Would the devs consider adding an extra med slot or two to the Arma now that the other ships have been looked at. Amarr was already hurting in the EW department, this seems like the chance to beef up the Amarr races EW ability by bumping up the Arma's med slots.

The Arma still has a 5% RoF bonus on it, so its still worth it damagewise.

- More CPU (! the apoc still usually needs a CPU, while the arma still does not. Back at 6 vs 8 lows) - RoF bonus More medslots? No thanks.

ROFL. Nuff said. Arma is an uber BB no matter how you slice it.

The naval term for a battleship is BB. This applies to every science fiction universe that has had anything like a battleship in it. I often refer to them as bships also. They are not navy freaks, just science fiction fans. Dont be hatin'.

So let me ask you this; Why are people refering to the Blackbird as BB? Maybe it's because they are lazy :-)
BB is Battleship for 90%+ of the worlds Navy. It is also this in Sci-Fi books and movies. Someone one day in Eve decided to call a Blackbird "BB" because of the two B's and now they seem to think they are going to change what many know BB as, which is Battleship.

I know I will regret this :) but can't resist.
This is an HONEST question:
What countries in the world HAVE battleships and do not have the letter B in their alphabet.
I can think of the obvious, U.S.S.R. - Japan had them, India I imagine has them perhaps Greece may also have them. Not sure of other nations. Perhaps it is VERY ethnocentric of me, but I do not picture many nations having battle-ships atm.
Back in the day (wooden ships), I do not know that navy ships were ever called battle-ships (as a technical class/term not just as a description) and in modern days these ships tend to be both expensive to make.
I would definately feel comfortable saying that well OVER 90% of the battleships out there are from B-having languages.
However, I will also agree that the BB designation is not universal due to it not making sense to name them such from a national pride point of view)

Anyone that want's to be anal about this subject of battleships designation should watch the history channel specials on the history of the ships. the first "battleships" where built by the Brits and up until WW1 they set the standard for them. At that time only a few countries were actually capable of producing them. by the time of WW2 there were only something like 6 countries still making them and the standard were still set by "western" countries with the exception of Japan which built the largest ones.
My dates are probably off since I'm not going to waste my time looking up specifics. But anyone that really wants to know the specific facts can look up the information on the history channel website. 2005.01.21 05:09:06combatYour Tachyon Beam Laser I perfectly strikes Blood Priest, wrecking for 533.1 damage. |

I'm not sure if Russia has a B or not :P Japan, china, probably india are all very populous nations that lack B's and probably have a battleship or two .. and most of them likely have a name for them even if they dont have them .. unless you think they all see say a US battleship and go ooooh ship bigger than cruiser! . ----- Apologys for any rambling that may have just occurred.

right now, only U.S. Navy has battleships in the whole world, but MOST navy use exactly same word "BB" to identify battleships.

I almost certain he is referring to 90% of the world that actually has the resources and balls to MAKE and OWN battleships. I think you will agree that that number is about right... let see... who own battleships? its a short list...
America, England, Russia (though they technically are battle cruisers), Germany, and DAMN few others that have more than 1 or 2. Although to be fair, America doesnÆt actually use its BBs anymore. Too bad, too I watched the USS Missouri turn a small island in the Persian Gulf into a nice fishing hole. Once you've seen that, you know that theyÆre BBs not BSs.

heh sounds fun tharkad but I wasnt reffering so much to the name or who owns them ( I do not honestly care) but just to the sheer arrogance of someone saying that you must use one abreviation because 90% of the world says its the right term .. which is rather an arrogant/unilateral comment is it not ? . ----- Apologys for any rambling that may have just occurred.

Hate to beat a dead horse, but the U.S. Navy has NO active battleships at all. There are a few that have been decommisioned and could theoretically be used again, but this is doubtful. They are extremely expensive to operate and can do very little that a couple of destroyers cannot do at a lower cost. Recently a proposal was made in congress to reactivate exactly one battleship, and it was shot down. I do not know of any country in the world that currently uses battleships (though I am not saying none do). -- "Never use a sledgehammer to drive a thumb tack." |

I agree with the people that think that the Armageddon will become less than desirable once these BS changes go into the game.
I urge you to find a way other than adding slots to make BSs better. Maybe tweak with the stats...but please leave the slots the way they are. Many people have purchased BSs for the slots they have _today_ not for slots they might have or might not have in the future. Sure chainging stats is annoying to the playerbase too...but I think it is a lesser of 2 evils.

Funny. [Scarscam] They are BB's. They are not 90% the world calls them BB's. 100% the world calls their BB's BBs. BECAUSE... only .000001% the world has them. And can call them BBs! [/Scarscam] I call them Bship. BBs are what's used for short. Cant call them a bird. bbird.. maybe... but bb is easier, and just as definate. BB for b-ship is quite... wide spread. *shrugs* if you sell a BB, I'm sure as hell not even interested. I dont want Black Birds. :) If you sell diffrent types, you on *****, and lying.
