Custom Battleships

[f2k]

Making battleship weapons stronger will require Igiss (and probably myself as i'm looking over some of the ships trying to design a database for it) to re-balance the entire ship system we have.  That's an enormous ammount of work and neither one of us (Hell, none of us) have that much time on our hands.

The problem with this statement is that you assume that the ships are already balanced. But, as I have stated on the bugs thread, the internal balance in Freelancer is FUBARed.

A Liberty LF is outclassed by a Bretonia LF which is outclassed by a Kusari LF which is need I go on? The same goes for cap. ships. The Liberty BS is outclassed by the Bretonia BS which is outclassed by the Kusari And they are all outclassed by fighters!

Clearly, something is wrong here. A cap. ship needs to be a huge behemoth that simply cannot be removed by anything less than full-scale assault by a squadron of Heavy Bombers preferably with a few cap. ships to help them.

I think that shield, health, and weapon health needs to be at least doubled, if not tripled. Oh, and make the guns hit harder too. Then the cap. ships might be close to what they should be
