Point 1: waah, why are novel and low supply products so expensive?
Just give it time? Triglavian ships were prohibitively expensive for poors early but now they’re all affordable (save for market manip due to patches like the recent Drauger thing).
Point 2: waah, why is a ship with bonuses to splash damage not doing as much dps as other ships that only deal single target damage!
You’re using it wrong. Not every ship needs to deal high DPS to single targets. The intended use is to deal heavy DPS over multiple targets in larger fleet fights. Not only that, given that the ships are new (and supply is low, and thus expensive), many alliances are simply sticking with cheap HACs and BCs because they work. Again, just give it time.
Point 3: waah, why does a ship that deal splash damage splash its damage?
You’re using it wrong. ESPECIALLY when you’re trying to 1v1 another battleship.
TL:DR; stop being an impatient child, cough up the isk and use it properly.
