Large anti capital ship weaponry. Designed for use by battleships, allows you to do significantly increased damage vs capitals, so that players actually have a way to fight massive capital fleets even if they do not have Titans of their own. Possibly have a medium turret option too for cruiser hulls? Not sure.

It makes sense though that a battleship should be able to inflict worthwhile damage to a capital ship. It’s supposed to be a battleship.

The damage vs capital ships would be significant enough that a sub capital fleet using this weaponry is actually able to be a threat and score kills against a capital fleet.

The weapons would not be able to fire in hi-sec, to avoid ridiculous ganking scenarios. The weaponry would suffer large damage penalties vs non capitals, which could be done either through sig and tracking, or a flat out negative damage penalty vs non capital ships.

It’s sort of like how attack battlecruisers can use large weaponry, except this is for use against capitals. The reason to design new weaponry for this is so that any large weapon using ship can equip it, and not just specific hulls like we see with attack battlecruisers.

What do people think? It gives battleships a needed buff and a new use. And helps give alliances without capital fleets a way to fight back. Should attack battlecruisers be able to use it? Possibly not, but not sure.
