During the massive furball in Manhattan yesterday, I was watching the LN battleships fight. In short: Lots of shooting, very little hitting.
The one LN dread that was effective was the one sneaking up behind people, uncloaking, blurting out some prewritten engagement notice and then immediately unloading point blank into his target. Then he'd run away, refuel, and do it again.
I don't like this. I don't like the temptation of 'hey, maybe if I exploit this, I might actually be effective for once'. Change this such that when you cloak, you lose your weapon pool, but you can still cruise, and you keep your shields.
Then fix bs missiles and give bs an anti-cruiser sniper turret plzkthxbai
