As | As CCP's "tiericide" project continues to move forward, ship rebalancing in Odyssey focuses on T1 Battleships and Navy Ships, along with the special addition of four completely new navy battlecruisers. There will also be a bunch of changes to other ship classes apart from this, mainly minor iterations on previous balance passes. | ||
Heavily connected to the ship tweaks will be the overhaul of associated skill requirements and ship skill progression in general. More info on this can be found in section 7.1. | Heavily connected to the ship tweaks will be the overhaul of associated skill requirements and ship skill progression in general.

As a result of the efforts to remove ship tiers and balance all ships of an individual class, the build costs of them also need to be rebalanced. With an emphasis on not breaking the current T1 Battleship economy, the changes here are finetuned like this: | As a result of the efforts to remove ship tiers and balance all ships of an individual class, the build costs of them also need to be rebalanced. With an emphasis on not breaking the current T1 Battleship economy, the changes here are finetuned like this: | ||
* The AVERAGE build cost of a battleship is going up by around 40mil. | |||
* Former tier 3 prices will not change substantially, and so the majority of the change in cost is carried by the former tier 1 and 2s. | |||
* Prices will be differentiated slightly by role ('attack' and 'disruption' being a bit cheaper than 'combat'). | |||
'''T1 Battleships - Amarr''' ([https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=231750&find=unread Source]) | |||
Please note that the following changes go hand in hand with tweaks to Large Energy Turrets, which you can read more about in section 6.1. | |||
* The Abaddon stays basically the same, with the exception of a tweak to its resistance bonus, which you can read more about in section 5.9. | |||
* The Apocalypse trades its cap bonus for a tracking one along with slight buffs to fitting, defense, mobility, targeting and sig radius and a nerf to drone bandwidth. While the ship loses some capacitor amount, it will recharge faster now. Also, note that the Apocalypse ship model is being overhauled, which you can read more about in section 8.5. | |||
* The Armageddon is completely being reworked as a drone boat with bonuses to drone damage and hitpoints, as well as neut range. With 5 turret and 5 launcher hardpoints, the available 7 high slots can be used very flexible. The ship's fitting slightly moves focus towards CPU, recieves significant buffs to defense, capacitor, of course drone bay and sensor strength while losing some of its mobility and suffering from increased sig radius. | |||

The Raven loses a utility high slot for an extra mid, trading minor buffs to fitting, capacitor, mobility and sig radius with slight nerfs to defense and drone bandwidth, pushing it more into the attack role. | The Raven loses a utility high slot for an extra mid, trading minor buffs to fitting, capacitor, mobility and sig radius with slight nerfs to defense and drone bandwidth, pushing it more into the attack role. | ||
