Because BS are too weak against Bombers
//Sorry it is Battleships not Battlehips
Battleships - Altaris - 08-21-2009
Nope on both sites. BS should be powerful against other BS, cruiser or GB only. If you want to be protected, get escort. If BS becomes better against bombers or fighters, the will be minus points for Fighter or bomber usage.
Edit: Please change your avi. You made me think, that Drake created this topic.

In my opinion, limiting Bs's to one per player is not good, it limits the bad role players to one, and also the good roleplayers to one. Also they do need to be powerful.

Might as well make all ships only available with a special role play request. /sarcasm

as a BS whore. i would say 2 per player is good
BUT, i would perfer the speed of 800 for anti-cap, but Secondaries change to 1600m/s~1800m/s would be good too, secondaries cant hit GB, cant hit Bomber cuz their projectile speed, so it needs a little buff

I would prefer to see the limit increased, as well as given the option of appeal by special request for another battleship instance.
But right now, I think there should be some tweaking done, but I'm not sure how.

BS are not the Be all and end all

I disagree, actually there in no chance to not hit slow battleship with secondary turrets. Neither GB. And i will repeat, bs should be completely useless against fighters/bombers.

Indeed, no ship is a be all end all besides an A.D.M.I.N. ship, with the possible exception of very very powerful Nomad ships.
Battleships fill a specific niche. I see people who ask to 'nerf' them and people who want to 'buff' them, so they must be at a pretty good middle ground.

Battleships are fine as they are, its just your tactics that might need looking at, meaning if you are having trouble with bombers, get fighter escorts.
