Intended changes with 4.87

[AeternusDoleo]

For example, the liberty assault carrier was drastically changed in 4.87. The model is different, the hull shows that it's been reduced by 200k, it can only mount 2 heavies and 4 primaries now which leaves 21 secondary turrets. Is all this working as intended? Why on earth would anyone need 21 secondary turrets? I think the carrier would be more balanced with 3 heavy, 5 primary and maybe 16 secondary.

Intended. Carriers are weak versus other heavies, but have strong anti-snub capabilities. This translates into fewer heavy and main guns on a larger model, but tons of antisnub guns. Also, don't stare yourself blind on the count - most of the weapons have restricted arcs.

If you want a Liberty capital ship bent on fighting other capital ships, use the LibDread or the LABC.
