Dear devs and admins:

[Ipuvaepe]

The issue is not playerbases, but the HUGE excess of capital ships in the game. If we're going to snip something, let's start there:
- All pirate factions restricted to cruisers and below. Poorly supplied pirate factions not even a cruiser.
- All house corporate factions, civvy stuff only.
- All unaffiliated factions (Zoner, BHG, IMG, GMG and other non-house lawful factions) limited to cruiser and below.

Just stop, we both know a ships size has nothing to do with this. Instead, let's reduce the shots per second battleships can put out (without reducing damage). Slow down heavy mortars to 15% muzzle velocity to make them nearly useless in combat, reduce energy use to 1 million per shot, reduce fire rate to 10 second intervals, and multiply damage by 2.5x. The end result is a weapon useless in normal combat that does slightly better damage than a cerb (52kdps vs 45kdps) while taking slightly less energy (100k vs 110k - heavy BS can permafire 3).

EDIT: This goes from 3 projectiles per ship per second to 0.3, I'd say that would help quite a bit wouldn't you?
