We Need a New Hybrid Capital Class Between Battleships and Capitals

The Caiman of your example is a rare expensive pirate-faction dreadnought.

If you wish to have an accessible ship at a level of either battleships or capital ships I recommend you stop looking at pirate ships and simply buy a T1, T2 or faction dread or battleship, which are considerably cheaper than these pirate ships.

There is no need to have a ship in between those categories, tell your chatgpt to simply ignore pirate ships for now if you don’t have the wallet for them. I don’t want to spend that much ISK on a ship either like the Caiman.

Problem solved?

Edit: with the context of your other post I now have a better idea about what your goal of this thread seems to be. You think “people could kill my Rattlesnake in low sec, but if I fly a bigger and better ship at least I have a chance!”.

Please learn from those Rattlesnake deaths: big ships aren’t going to save you.

Even if you could afford to fly a Titan people would still catch you and kill you with superior firepower. A bigger ship isn’t going to solve your issues.

Learn to stay alive instead, which is considerably easier in a small agile ship. Go smaller. If staying within the Guristas theme, try a Gila!
