Cap ship shields recover too slowly. Even using SB u can boost the shield about 3 full recharges. A well equipped fighter (with tizonas , inferno , nova ) can reduce them to 0 in seconds. Maybe the cap ships need better recharge time. The math about now looks like this:
Battleship shield: 800 seconds for full recovery from 0!
Cruser/Destroyer : 480 seconds for full recovery
Gunboat : 300 seconds for full recovery
Train: 240 seconds.
It's because they all have fighter shield regeneration - 250 points/second.
By the math again - fighter recovers it's shield for 40 sec.
So i suggest that All cap ships might have a regen of lets say 3 mins - 180 seconds.
This will make 'em worth their money.
The math for the 3 mins regen is like this :
BS shield: About 1100 regen
Cruser/Destroyer shields : About 660 regen
Gunboat : About 420 regen
Train : About 340 regen.
And another thing - the equipment of the Cap ships - Bs turrets and guns are made for BS's , cruser guns for crusers, gunboats for GB - but it's too easy now to equip Cruser forwartd gun on a GB , get it some BS/cruser missle turrets , and marsflyer side turrets , BS shield - u go fight against that!
I suggest level requerments - guns will have the proper Lv requierments -
BS guns and BS mounts,equipment - lv 10
Cruser/Destroyer,equipment - lv 9
Gunboat mounts , equipment - lv8
Train mounts, equipment - lv 7
Or Eitherway we need some serious balance there - a RH BS with 21 turrets - bunch of marsflyer , solaris and bret missle is something overpowered (and the energy balance is almoust infinite). No other BS has a good chance opposing a thing like that! Frankly I don't like the Rh BS(just don't like it's looks). But since there is a serious difference my Bretonian hasn't got much of a chance - 0nly 12 turrets and less hull (this goes also for the other classes of cap ships - balance is needed, so they might be tested around or something).
This is worth of thinking over... Or we can make all BS have the same amount of turrets - like in other mods I've seen (something like 12-14).
