Dear devs and admins:

[Hidamari]

POB dont cause lag, battleships firing at them do, they also cause lag firing at just about anything. want to reduce lag?

Make all capital ships anti cap weapons fire in no less than 5 - 10 - 20 second intervals.

remove primarys and cerbs, more projectiles, more lag.

this might also make cap fighting way more interesting. because i could swear turret splitting was supposed to do that? (could be wrong) but all it did was make cap fighting suck even more, in .85, caps had practically all primary's and a mortar or two, and would just fly at the other ship spamming all guns killing the other ship in seconds if it wasn't careful. a real snooze and lag fest, also tacticless.

in 86 i dont see any difference in battleship combat, in fact i think ships die even faster now and mortars are hardly used at all because you can do the same damage as a heavy mortar in the same time with just 1 cerb turret, so most caps just go full cerbs and primarys and stuff dies by holding down the mouse button (once again)

isnt the reason the purple goddess chain-gun got its refire nerfed due to lagging the server with hundreds of projectiles per second?

Fighter pvp seems to resemble more old school methods, shooting other ships down with short range cannons rather than missiles, why not do the same for battleships.

make them more like old school battleships, double the damage, speed and range of all "mortar" type weapons and change their name to "Heavy Main battery" "Standard Main Battery" "Light Main Battery" instead of 'Mortar' which never made much sense anyway.

this way makes movement more important and conservation of fire also important, with a 'putting all your eggs in one basket' kind of firepower will make it more more gripping than just "spray in that direction", since if you get hit by a Heavy Main Battery if buffed as i suggested, your ship would really feel the impact.

though there are always inherent issues with re balancing things again, i think it could be better than it is.
