Battleships: Difference between revisions

Line 79:

As of September 2019, Black Ops Battleships gained a new role: the new 'hard cyno', a heavily buffer-tanked ship tasked with lighting a [[Cynosural Field]] for bringing capital and supercapital ships into battle. While much commentary has been made about their weaker defenses than other battleships, Black Ops are still battleship platforms, and thus can be fitted with much thicker defenses than the smaller Force Recon cruisers.

~~There are no major PVE applications for most~~ Black Ops Battleships, as other tech 1 or faction battleships are able to engage in straight combat more effectively and at far lower price points. However, some pilots have taken to using the Marshal as a PVE ship, relying on its CONCORD-unique bonus to local repair modules to give it a defensive edge. This is not an efficient practice in ship usage, and more often than not only results in extremely expensive Marshal losses.

Black Ops Battleships are not usually considered good PvE hulls, as other tech 1 or faction battleships are able to engage in straight combat more effectively and at far lower price points. However, some pilots have taken to using the Marshal as a PVE ship, relying on its CONCORD-unique bonus to local repair modules to give it a defensive edge. This is not an efficient practice in ship usage, and more often than not only results in extremely expensive Marshal losses.<br>

Black Ops Battleships are sometimes used for running escalation in null security space. What they lose in raw power they gain in jump drive mobility. By using alts with cyno field generators, the Black Ops Battleship will be able to jump in and out of systems without risking traveling through potentially hostile space. They will also be able to jump out to safety at first sign of danger.

* {{sh|Redeemer}} - Least commonly seen in combat, but able to fit the largest cargo bay for storing jump fuel, or the thickest armor if a tank must be held.
