Cap. ship shield and weapons proposal [ by The Damned - me actually :)]

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).

All this I have posted on discovery Wiki. Please read carefully and think about it. The regen of capships I have suggested is far better than the one we have now. Just read before posting.
