first cruise speed on a battleship is 350, but for alot of battleships docking in a trade lane is very hard, hence why i thought removing docking into trade lanes all together and increasing there cruise speed to 1200 or even 1000 so they can just fly through a system instead of trying to take trade lanes, second increase there impulse speed to 100 so they have a chance against battle cruisers who can use thrust to stay just out of range, third and in reply to an above message, a battleship could not cruise upto anything and just blow it up, the energy regen time is 45 seconds min before it starts, at least in my BS anyway so that would give any fighter or bomber still in cruise more then enough time to get away with out any fair of being blown up
