Alas, I see that no Devs took the time to read my posts about “Head Shooting” from last year. And I think it was only the 5th post in the relevant forum section on this new forum system (good job btw Web Dev Team).
This design for the FC Monitor Flag ships is lazy thinking. It does not address things like warps speeds and warp accerations or ship speeds when burning around on grid. In some cases it is going to be too fast IE when the rest of the fleet is in battleships. And then for frigs and destroyers, it is going to be too slow. When your fleets is a load of t1 frigs. And speed is your friend in warps. Having a fat cruiser slowing your warps is not good. It’s not going to going to be able to enter faction warfare “Small” or “Novice” sites. Not all major mega fleets fights happen in 0.0 space. And tt still going to get 1 shotted of the field by a enemy fleet of MACs if it is target painted and web scrammed. It needs a whore gun or something. I know why it has none right now. Dev team is worried about “Directing Drones”. But folks want to be on that killboard too (I dont care myself). Build costs and ISK values for buying the ship seem far to high.
In the end. The CSM failed here. They did not help the DEV team see the pitfalls or the long term issues of just adding a 0 damage capable ships with a big tank.
Here is my well thought out plan that addresses the issues that I have laid out above.
