Capital ship balance Propasals

[Jinx]

but come on - think in-character.... would any pilot in his right mind ( not to mention militaries who like to safe cash, too - sometimes ) put an allmost 1 billion upgrade on a 20 million ship? - no matter how much any military respects the life of their pilots... they will not do that.

anyway - i guess making cap8 unusable is a good compromise ( since i don t see cap 8 on it anyway ) - more bats and bots means .... more bats / bots to loot fromt he wreck... IF it got hit by a supernova, cause its a one shot kill.

but taking away 1 - 2(!) turrets is a bit much. anyway - the shipclass gunship does not exist. - i remember igiss saying that they are all the same shipclass, no matter what we make of it. - and the difference will be too great to other gunboats. ( scorpion/corsair gunboat 8 turrets .... and if we d take 2 turrets off the BHG gunboat - it would have half the power of those. thats too much, no matter how many fighters you can take down with it - it doesn t feel like a justifiable measure )

i could argue the same way about battleships. - why has the bretonian, liberty, osiris, BD battleship more than 8 turrets - the zoner juggernaut has "only" 16 and is considerable less agile and much bigger. ( i know, its a bad example ) - that does not really justify to nerf the 7 million powercore of the "small" battleships - or take away some of their turrets.

besides, i don t see too many of those gunships spammed around. - ( but maybe, i m again flying at the wrong times, in the wrong places ) - they show up in reasonable numbers - but compared to the "well balanced gunboats" they are actually quite rare.
