Battleships- how about another change, so they be battleships

[FallenKnight]

Reptile's idea is interesting but lets not forget this is a game and the capital ships are just mere shadows of what they are supposed to be. Right now every ship from gunboat to heavy dreadnaught is balanced and with the new turret splitting system and turret zoom option you have all necessary to fight properly.

the current system where everyone and his mom can buy one won't work with your stats. <strike>Buff the battleships but make them cost like 1.9 billion, add ammo to bs guns and make a round cost 50k or more and, most importantly,</strike> restrict their use to official factions or at least let the official factions grant indies the permission to use fly them.

As for the general idea of boosting the strenght of the battleships I have 2 solutions:
- All official factions to receive a specfic "Battleship Armor Upgrade" which will improve the armor capacity x 6 (or maybe x10!), making all official faction capital ships stronger and more real. Independent players can still fly caps with same weaponry but they wont have that much armor.

- The battleships will be special if they are rarely used. That may happen if :

restrict their use to official factions
