Removing the CD slot from Cruisers+

[Eppy]

Indeed...in-RP the NPCs would tear them apart. Since they can't, it's up to the players to do so.

The CD on Battleships allows it more survival, too; it's much more efficient if the BS has some counter against the Bomber scourge, and the CD has that effect quite nicely. 'Encouraging Team Cooperation' isn't going to work that well just by taking the CD away. Any decent fighter pilot can run on his thruster at more than twice the legal speed a Battleship can manage, and strafe while doing it, theoretically never getting hit. The CD rarely even allows the Battleship to stop the fighter-sized craft anyways; what it does best is to knock them out of engine kill so they fly into the BSes guns (which almost never kills them in one pass anyways, and if they fall for it more than twice they need therapy...), and that is the only way a Battleship can survive a bomber horde on its own...the only place this will encourage team playing is in factions, and they already do it if they have any PR sense. The noobs don't care; long as they get their big ship they're happy.

Quick comment - we thought that Panzer was the Leader, Swift. -Agmen

Which Dreadnought was that?

One of your nine.
