Actually it could be a good tactical toy, if it could hurt groups with one salvo. Like if it had massive shield damage and group area effect, it would be a nice toy for group fights - for example compared with higher powercore usage, one battleship could hit with IBC into the middle of battleship formation delivering massive shield damage to some of them with one salvo. Would it be even possible?
PS: It would even prevent snubs from hugging battleships
And speaking about Gaga's post, he has a point. Not much things should be counted basing on x cap8 modifier as the most common one is cap6, not cap8. Like all vets who play here could afford to buy cap8 for each cap they have, but new guys and not really powertrading ones cannot. We shouldn't make something A even if some part of community can't do B. Like trading is very boring and people even with some months experience doesn't have lots of money.
