I have seen nummerous posts and it got me wondering about the same thing, the khanid are their own faction and there is a khanid ship for every type of ship, but not for battleship.

I also noticed that the abaddon doesn't have a T2 varient, nor the rokh, mealstrom or hyperion.

This got me thinking that there could be another battleship varient down the pipe. I have what i think is a good idea to fill that hole so i think i'll just dump it here and see who drools on it.

My idea for the T2 varient on these ships is a fast strafing battleship that gets an extra bonus to afterburners as well as a faction specific bonus while they are active. The idea is their base speed and offensive module strength is at its best when the afterburner is active but it recieves a staggering agility penalty and an increased afterburner cycle time which is in this case a bad thing. When i thought of this design i was thinking about the abaddon with torpedoes but this could also be applied to autocannons blasters and pulse lasers so i'll start with the abaddon.

Perdition (look it up on dictionary.com)
Battleship Skill bonus: 5% bonus to Torpedo Explosion velocity and 5% bonus to shield resistances per level
Juggernaught Skill Bonus: 5% bonus to torpedo Damage and 10% reduction to afterburner capacitor cost per level.
Role Bonus:
While an afterburner is active all Siege missile launchers base Rate of fire is reduced by 50%
afterburner cycle time increased by 200%
Agility penalty increased by 200% while afterbuner is active
Signature radius increased by 200%
Afterburner speed bonus increased by 200%
immune to stasis webbifiers
Skill bonuses are only active when maximum speed is over 85%

8 High points, 8 launcher hardpoints
4 Med points
8 low points
150 m/s velocity
the rest of the stats are similar to the abaddon, mabey slightly larger being a T2 ship


I thought about this ship a lot so please give some feedback.
