Custom Battleships

[Retread]

A battleship should be the most difficult of ships to take down, regardless of the house that owns it. A battleship compliment should also cosist of escort fighters and gunboats as additional skirmish lines that the enemy should have to avoid or go through just to get to the main objective.
More so, it should take literally a full compliment attack wing to seriously damage a battleship, with a considerable loss (at least 50 %) of the attacking force.
When all is said and done, the attacking force should (in theory) have about 10-25% strength left to execute the actual attack on the battleship.
Refer to the attached photo shot of a custom battleship. (HAMMER_PB3) The Train you see above the battleship is an actual size comparison.

In a complete conversion mod, there is an option to equally outfit all houses with similar level weapons loadouts, shielding and armor ratings. In other words, if you launch off of Manhattan, you would see ships that would for all practical purposes match those of all the other major houses.
Then, the starting player for that matter would have a starting ship equal to the other house ships of that type.
I think this would eliminate the "ladder" effect.
