What about that recon cruiser?

[Sonja]

I've been lamenting the lack of a heavy cruiser option for Liberty for half a decade.

I'm looking forwards to a 11-14 gun heavy cruiser option to fill the only remaining gaping tactical hole in the liberty capital ship fleet. Hopefully that time will come to an end with something like this. Or really, anything that can put a large number of cruiser guns on to a target without relying on a pair of poorly placed battleship slots (battlecruiser) or the very good but not very flexible forward gun (siege cruiser).

The pictures don't show the size though. However, I imagine that it can be changed with the requirements of its role as hopefully a many gun heavy cruiser.

I'm looking forwards to flying something like this as an open third option in the Liberty cruiser class selection. I'm tired of flying a siege cruiser, or wishing that I was flying a Kusari battlecruiser rather than a Liberty battlecruiser.

WAT, who does this???

LABC is the best BC in the game. It's the grandfather of all BCs. Every BC is basically just a C&P of the LABC with a different model. KuBC is actually one of the worst BCs in the game because it has 2 heavies instead of 4.

Maybe that's true now, but I remember when the Kusari battlecruiser had a thruster whereas the LABC didn't, and it also had a more even distribution of arcs for its primaries including no blind spots where neither could fire.

Of course, its a memory of its time. I have no idea what they're like now.

Yeah, KuBC and Bullhead are similiar. They had shoddy stats/arcs or some other deficiency that cripples the effectiveness of the ship because stats wise they're still built as if they're unique BCs with thrusters (which isn't the case anymore since all BCs have thrusters). BCs in general really need a rework (and haste senpai should let me do it).

I'm sure it'll get fixed once the balance team decide what combat role they want battlecruisers to fulfill.

Back to the point though.

Yes, Liberty main line heavy cruiser please. I want. Much more than yet another battleship.

You remembered wrong. The only BC that had a thruster when the others didn't was the Bullhead.

LABC, Argus, etc didn't have one.

I'd trade the carrier for a proper heavy cruiser.

Yeah, except I flew the KUBC with Ench, and it had a thruster.

Please don't be so presumptuous with me.
