oh lawd yes

edit: FUCK t3 bc, i was so happy over having bs V and now i still don't have bc V -_-

edit2: it's k i have bc V finishing 20th december, that should be enough. Oh and:

They will be capable of similar damage output as a battleship but obviously all that damage comes at a price.They won‘t be able to tank like a battleship, but what they lack in the tanking department the right pilot should be able to somewhat make up for with speed and distance management. Those looking to start minmaxing fleets of TÖTALHELLDEATH will have to wait a bit for the stats.

i think ccp had hatchery in mind for this imo.

Watch the new Caldari one be hybrids too.

Regardless, I have BC5 and by the time the expansion hits I'll have HAMs and maybe even lasers too.

I wonder if the concept of large guns + speed/distance management is for all the t3 bc's or just the Minmatar one.

edit: Nvm reread it, they seem to be referring to all the ships with that description.

Not confirmed, just rumoured.

I guarantee people will find a way to tank these like Battleships. Obviously it will gimp the damage down to that of a BC, maybe even using BC sized guns. That would be awesome.

mmm, gall should have a hybryd boat, cuz oversized drones makes not that much sense (imo, unless they could use fighters xd), in that case, caldari should have missiles, imagine blitzing 4s with a drake that shoots torpedos... good?

Oh god the smile on my face when I read the part about BS guns. It's only 5$ for a month, should I do it?

I can't shake the feeling that they really plan to troll us on this. As in we get the ship and see the same guy who designed the retribution assigned only one mid to the new bc. Seriously though I'd rather it be a bs because if they intend to gimp tank, were gonna end up with some rough low,mid slot layouts

If they give it a web bonus and 1 mid slot, I'll self destruct my mach.

So how is this working out for caldari? Torps and CM are pretty bad for pvp. Torps are only useful if you brawl other bs and web tp them, CM are useless no matter what.

That's why I'm thinking the Caldari one will fit HMLs and have some stupid fits, ie: capital shield booster or something

Since gallente was my first race, I'm a bit biased that they should benefit the most from hybrid buffs considering the suffering they've endured. Nonetheless assume the hybrid buff is logical, a big if, they really shouldn't put missiles on their new ship.

Also missile supports should be changed to be melded with turrent supports, it always seemed retarded to me to keep just one weapon set on completely different skills.

so a bc with the speed of a hurricane with web bonus but can fit x7 800mm's sounds fair!
