I voted it stays.

I think that instead of removing it from the mod, wer can make its weps impossible to unmount. So poeple dont mount its weps on other ship.

The reason why many people (including myself) are mounting its weps on Battleships is because battleship weapons sucks. They use too much power for the punch they give.
I remember when the ossiris turrets did a damage of 1600 at 2.0 firerate with a decent power usage. Now, they use too much power. Even a stock ossiris runs out of power after a few shots.

I allways thought that BS weapons should do ENORMOUS, almost insane, ammounts of damage. Because they are battleships. They have turrets almost the size of a fighter, power generators far bigger than those of fighters (even bigger than the fighter itself)... And still, some fighter weapons do more damage than their BS counterparts. WTF!?!? :crazy:
Its the most annoying thing in the universe being defeated by a $ 4.000.000 slipstream when you are on board of a $ 200.000.000 battleship just because you run out of energy every time you shoot more than 3 times at it. And it is also annoying havin your shields being depleted by a fighter in less than 10 seconds, when it is supposed that the fighter has 1/100 of the power output of a BS.

--I think that the weakest BS weapon should do twice the damage of the most powerful fighter weapon. And the BS should not run out of power that fast. It should be able to fire constantly for at least 1 minute with the most powerful weps available.

--Shileds should be twice as strong as they are now. And they should regenerate much faster. The shield design of current BS is based on fighter shields. I guess that the people who created the BS mod (which is integrated on discovery if im right) just took a champion shield and increased its max capacity. So actual BS shields are not designed for BS's, but are just overpowered fighter shields.

--Hull strenght is fine.

--Power output should be increased a lot. It is supposed that a BS has a power generator capable of powering up a Warp drive (suggested by the SP campaign, where the ossiris takes you to toledo. As you know there is no JH to toledo in the original Freelancer. So i suppose that the BS has its own warp drive), which is supposed to use far more power that all weapons. So the warp core should generate enough power to run the engine for a lot of time. Let alone using that core to power up the weapons, which consume much less power than the engines. And as you know, most sci-fi ships take its combat energy from the warp core...

--Maneuverability is fine as it is now. But if it has to be decreased for correcting the mass problem of current BS's, then make it so.

So thats why people use MF weps on battleships. To make battleship LOOK like battleships. Not just big, expensive, unamenuverable fighters, with poor power output...


EDIT: Oops, i guess i disrupted the topicva bit. I will create a new topic so we can discuss the BS problem in a more adecuated place...
