Hi guys, I thought I would describe my favourite ships and the reason why they are so great, or what and why their weaknesses are. THE RAVEN- One of the slowest battleships in Eve, a lumbering beast of a ship. - Easily one of the largest signature radius battleships ingame, if not the biggest after shield modifications. - Slow to allign, to tilt and point that massive hull towards its next victim. - Approximately around the same siz...  Please visit your user settings to re-enable images....a battlecruiser? uhh ohhh, nvm.
THE MACHARIEL- A smaller more slimline signature radius - Easily one of, if not the fastest and most nimble battleship in the game, possible due to it's... uhh... But doesn't every smaller ship allign fas... move...? nvm. *Cancelled, sod this, this is bs* |

My favourite ship is an Impairor because Ibis is too ugly |

Sorry it was nothing clever or interesting, I was probably bored or something. Just a thinly veiled whine about how the Raven is near 5 times smaller then the Macherial but somehow has a massive sig, slow to allign etc... While the Mach is huge and very fast. It wasn't a whine about any in particular, just that all other ships in general have speed and inertia roughly based on their size/sig, I would've liked a little more consistency maybe. It doesn't seem as if they're very descriminating about whats big enough to be called a Battleship. |

You see, longer hulls displace water more easily, and are thus faster. See: Hood, Iowa and other fast battleships and battlecruisers contra the shorter, stockier super dreadnoughts of the first world war such as the Revenge and New York classes. |

The term is 'aspect ratio', and to a lesser extent 'cross sectional density'. Also holds true for external ballistics... |

The sad thing is, with EVE's physics, that almost makes sense... Just remember, there's another way to get speed/agility, besides reducing your mass: increasing your thrust. Raw power will get you the performance you want, and if you look at the Machariel, it has no shortage of engines. |

if you zoom out enough, it really doesn't show... :)
or, don't worry much about designer's guesstimizations. it's still just a game. |

Revenge was also bulged so perhaps the Raven should have a bonus to torpedo defence.  |

This is true, the Raven does appear to have anti-torpedo bulges. Fitting name. |

No, it's one of the fastest. No large guns, no plates = low mass. If a bs fleet is warped and didn't allign before, the ravens are amongst the first battleships to enter warp. Everyone who diagrees has no clue or is a liar. |

Agility ≠ speed. That is, Caldari ships tend to be slow but agile - hence they do warp quickly. Before the recent agility nerf, you could get a Navy Caracal into warp comically quickly (for a cruiser anyway!).

Caldari ships received an all-encompassing agility buff before that, though. |
