Always a bigger fish?

Also, Cruisers are often used as screening elements for BS's/Carriers and to take on other Cruisers.

They are also much much cheaper than a BS. While one on one a BS is almost always going to win against a cruiser; 2 Cruisers against 1 BS is much much different. And if we take mk8 armour out of the equation a group can afford 6 Cruisers for the cost of 1 BS. If we put mk8 armour on a BS...then a force can afford to field 12 Cruisers for that 1 BS.

So would a force rather lose one 1-2billion credit BS..or send 3 Cruisers and lose 1..maybe 2 of the cruisers if the cruiser pilots suck and the BS pilot is good. Thats only a loss of 150-300 million credits.

Well if you compare the costs to their performance, then one could atleast expect 1 thing to be better then the other if it's more expensive.
If we apply that formula, we'd have BS>Cr>GB.
However, in current form its more like: BS>GB>Cr if you get what I mean.

Statistically and numberically a fleet of 2 GBs can take down 1 Cr as it should (technical and numberal advantage). However a Cruiser just can't take a GB down because of their technical disadvantages - that isn't the statistical.

But there are other factors, yes numberically if there was a fleet worthy of the same cash but divided of more players that one should obvious win.

I suppose it's all a mathmatical equation in the end - and the Cruiser being left done maybe..
