Balance: Unkillable Battleships

[Omicron]

You can 1 shot a snub for a single mistake. You can 2 shot a gunboat for a single mistake. You can kill a cruiser if he gets too close and if it's not a high armored one. The second time will kill him either way. You can deflect novas with flaks, which are supposed to be the main counter to battleships.

I don't know how anything about that is underpowered. On a side note, can 5 bombers kill a battleship? More like 5 players can kill 1. Seems okay to me.

Battleships shouldn't "need" to escape. Why? Because they're the most overpowered thing in the game since autoaim was given to everything above bombers. Solo battleships can't be encouraged with higher "survival" abilities because then we'll have LNS/RNC scenarios with battleships/cruisers only all over the game. There's a small amount of anything below cruisers in these fights, and that's because it's encouraged enough. Snubs will get insta killed at any point in time due to missile/razors/secondary spam. Gunboats don't really deal the needed damag/ dont't have the range.

I agree that single battleships are "weak" against higher numbers. That's because if you buff it further it'll be the only flown class in the game alongside transports.

Imo.

Have you actually *ever* flown any capital ship into battle?
