I thought of something while testing cruiser and destroyer classes on my server that you always thrust around trying to fly like a gunboat, well cruisers should be strafing more like battleships but they aren't much of a strafers because you can't strafe more than 10-15? (FL speed units) and you can't dodge anything.
Battleships on the other hand can but not as much thinking of thier size and all. So I think Bcruisers, cruisers and destroyers should have thier strafing speed increased and maybe compensate that with a reduced speed or turn rate.
What I'm trying to say is that it looks funny when cruisers thrusts, for example let's say a DS/CR 1v1 of course both goes into engine kill and tries to out turn the opponent that's what I would've done and try to hit 'em from behind.
Oh and I have a little question about ID's: Can't mercs get cruisers anymore? Cause the merc ID says you can only have ships up to gunboat, when I had my old account I had merc ID'ed Omni cruiser and Omni was then on the edge of unlawful. So what ID can mega corporations get for thier capitalships? I'll guess some of you will say caps are only for house militaries and it's out of RP for corps to have 'em, my only excuse is that Omni Industries is partly a weapon developing corporation.
