battleships can't take care of snubs efficiently(provided you have anti-cap installed on your BS and not Solaris Gatling)
these battleships shouldn't fly alone then, they should have a gunboat or snubs flying with it, if fighters think they can take a battleship down, let them try, but it's your responsibility to make sure they don't, so you either run away, or you call for backup.
IRL, you don't see a single battleship cruising on its own, it probably has frigates and other smaller ships cruising with it along with some AA equipped vessels.
point is, a battleship is a battleship, whether it be an anti-snub one or an anti-cap one, it still has weaknesses, and those people use those weaknesses against you.
It's a game
That's a crappy excuse, this is a game that takes the Roleplay aspect and puts it IN the game, comparing IRL to a game which heavily relies on the Roleplay aspect is totally valid...

Well, sometimes is kinda hard to gather some support due to lack of people online. And well, npc spawnning command for carriers would fix this situation, but it's difficult to do.
And well, to be honest, this thread already has 7 pages and nothing will be done with it.
The only solution is logging only with some friends, otherwise die or don't log either.
True is that some people are just blue-hungry, and nothing can change them.
So, addapt to the game or die in pain. It should be Disco's main doctrine

I must admit that real life comparison in sci-fi such as this is unavoidable, because all "classic" sci-fi tactics and combat are based onto WW2/Pacific War naval tactics - with destroyers, fighters, bombers, carriers.

This, and whine however you want @Wesker, but a battleship is vulnerable while flying alone so I don't see the point of this thread. when you get outnumbered, whether it be Battletransports, VHFs, Bombers, most cases you will not survive the encounter.

A battleship can be vaulnerable to Bombers but not fighters.

This
See Homeworld as example, send Battlecruiser into 5 assault fighter squadron (each squadron have 5 ship this means 25 fighter) Battlecruiser can destroy them all without taking heavy damage (maybe BC will lost %10-15 hullpoints)
But send Battlecruiser to 5 bomber squadron, You will lose your battlecruiser

You're comparing a different Sci-Fi universe to Disco, Obviously the game was balanced so that Fighters are no match to Battlecruisers, but this is disco, not Homeworld.
