Removing the CD slot from Cruisers+

[mwerte]

hmmm, wrong title methinks.

I totally agree that caps need more armor and a powerplant boost (and this from a guy who flys a bomber most of the time).

But I don't think that caps need the CD slot. This way, if a BH BC is going after my bomber he HAS to bring along a gunboat or less to make sure I stay put. It encourages team co-operation.

Also, if your cap is going to be fighting other caps you should bring along a bomber or 2 anyway. More MULTIPLAYER co-operation.

This idea was spawned because my bomber was chased around S13 by a Rheinland Cruiser (:angry:) for 15 minutes this morning. Cruisers/Battleships aren't made to hunt down a fighter or bomber or even a smuggler. They are made for WARFARE and with huge fleet battles you would (should) have a ship of fighter/bomber/gb class along so that A) you can kick the enemy around more effectivly and B) make sure that while you're kicking them around they don't try and leave.

Now, I know this isn't my best idea ever...but give it some thought rather then the knee-jerk reaction "don't nerf caps".

And as for the people that said "just thruster away"... do you KNOW how hard it is to prove someone cruised to catch up? I had a MOVIE of that happening and no sanction ever came of it.
