Well to be honest i think they are pretty much the same, the other day in my workers front char i was flying through Rhindland to get a new ship, took a trade lane that brings you out right on top of a battleship and i didn't have a chance to do anything before it killed me.
Same thing the other night in liberty in my Corsair char at an event the battleship in Texes could rip my shield of in seconds if i got to close.
I kinda like it like that though, but i do think there all pretty powerful now.
