I even dare to think that way too many factions have access to Battleships and extremely advanced tech. In Vanilla, the Hackers were a group of "educated" Pirates that had exactly two bases and had no own shipline. Now they are God-like Cyber warriors with Battleships and their own shipline.

More variety to bombers so they aint SNAC humpers only.

Hell no. No more battleships. I am getting a spasm when I see more than 6 caps, especially in New York and then even for every faction? Nah. What prevents the owners of the "new" battleships to lolwut around, using them to satisfy theirselfes because the suck in fighter/bomber combat. To be honest I thought exactly like this months ago and I really wasn't good in piloting a fighter. Just get used to them. In my opinion there shouldn't be more battleship classes, or an increased amount of them, since they are, like already mentioned, very expensive and (normally that should be like that) rare. Instead of bringing more variants in caps there should be more possibilities to individualize the own character with more different trading ships, (fighters), bombers etc.

If you look at current availability of capital ships, all major nations have their own. Gunboats, cruisers, sometimes even two battleships. Thats enough variety, whats the point of employing too many variants. Think Germany in WW II, too many variants kill your economy. Have few and use them.
More snubs of all kinds, customizable and such is more needed, then few silent LUL PIERAT ships. I neary stoppd using my caps since the people around are just TOO dumb. Think Hamburg. I feel for Joe there.

I think there is a reason why not so many players are playing as Unioners or as Bundschuh. Because they cannot fly Battleships even with the Guard ID.:lol:
But seriously. In Vanilla the battleships were the most feared units in the game but they were beatable by more small ships. Look at the penultimate mission in the SP campaign. There you are even able to destroy a Marduk alone, almost without the help of the useless Order NPCs. It shouldn't be like this but also not like there is not a chance for fightercraft against capital ships. The BS lines are fine as they are, only something I am missing is, like mentioned before, more variants for the smaller vessels to encounter caps in more different ways.

Oh great. Brilliant. Wonderful. Supreme.
Lets have a Civilian capship line. I know! Lets make the Venator a Civilian Battleship.
*Sarcasm off*
Seriously. Less caps. More snubs. I don't want to see more caps than necessary in Liberty.

Poor mans battleship - Hegemon, Lux Liner or such. Cap 8, guns and profit.
Civilians dun need battleships. Nor does anybody else atm.
Wish we had foru classes of bombers to employ variety and fun.

Irritating all the bomberlovers here posting they want more Bombers.
This isnt about Bombers..
Also Bombers are generaly completly irrelevant, nothing is as epic as big Faction-BS events.
Never heard of any "Bomber events"...go hide again. :tease:
I like the idea of different BS.
If you count in Battlecruisers (some have few lvl10 BS-slots!) Liberty has already have 3 BS types!
Zoner, Outcast and Liberty have 2 different real BS.
New BS-class ships in 4.86 will be:
Kusari Battlecruiser (new)
IMG Battlecruiser (dunno new or conversion of IMG Cruiser)
RM Carrier (new Battlecruiser)
Outcast Dreadnought (new)
So Outcast will have 3 different real BS in 4.86.
Atleast the major Factions should have the option to add more BS.

Yeah, that already sounds ridiculous. A 'civillian', a citizen of a House, in a battleship.:lol:
And next time we will see flying cows?

No and no. I think the new design (i am not sure about that) is more a replacement to the older one. Dunno if for Ranseur or the Sarissa. Also I do not see a reason why to add more variants of BS's. There already is a ridiculous high number of BS's, so why support that?
