Battleship Point-Defense Turrets
-Very Short Range (500-800 meters)
-Fast Refire Rate (8.33-10.00, think machine gun)
-Low Damage (400-500 per shot)
-Very Fast Travel Speed (around 5000 m/s)
Point defense turrets are only dangerous when the target is at extremely close ranges. These keep the fighters/bombers from exploiting blind spots on the battleship, but they take up valuable hardpoints for that task and are ineffective against anything larger than a bomber.

hey, are you crazy ????

4000 DPS with a 5000m/s projectile speed !!! its simply the ultimate defence against every fighters(all types) and bombers (with 4 turrets => 3 secs to kill a VHF)

its completly against what you said :

Battleships
Good Against:
Cruisers, Battleships
Bad Against:
Bombers, Cruisers

battleships turret may have a constant formula like :

price = damages * shot per second^1.5 * projectile speed * constant / energy used < 3 000 000 (completly a random one, it ask to work on it seriously)

the price may be lower with cruisers, ect ....



And i think bombers and gunship/gunboat may be competitives, only fighters have to kill bombers easily.

A good army is manly composed by fighters, without it, everyone will take only battleships.
(at least 5 fighters/3 bombers/2 gunboat for 1 cap ship)

try a good organisation like this one and you will see the fight will take a while (except for cap ship:P)



EDIT :

There are only so many players, and some factions dont have the players available to spam fighters at everyone.

Corsairs, Red Hessians, GC, KNF, LSF, Orders, Dragons, Bounty Hunters ... all those factions got a lot of players actives (i'm thinking about the carnage at Sigma13 yesterday, i missed it:() But for exemple, i see only Bounty hunters cap ship, I've NEVER seen any BH fighter .... (that's why we kill them so easily with our bombers)

LSF are not better, every time i got to New York, i don't see more than 2 fighters at the same time but they got a lot of cap ship !

Corsairs, RHA, GC and KNF use a lot of fighters and fights are really more better ! (1 hour for a 12corsairs v 11hessians ... i looked my clock 2 times before i believe it)
