Battleship Weapons

[msmith619]

Hmm... gunboat guns on BS....
Didnt know that it was possible to mount those "Guns" on "Turret" slots...

As BS weps are too underpowered (or use too much energy), myabe those should be allowed on BS so we can get the best bang for the buck with our battleships.. at least until next version brings the much needed BS weps upgrade...

I have now tried several battleships. At one point I was outfitting them with nothing but cruiser turrets. I got about 80% of the firepower of BS turrets with 50% of the power expendature of BS turrets.

As it stands now, outfitting a BS with BattleRazors, Inferno Cannons, and Nomad turrets (I tried this on 2 of my BSs) gives you about 3-6 shots before consuming all of your power, and that is without Mortars! In PvP, you don't stand a chance without those weapons as someone else does and eats your shields in a few shots but, I like to play mostly against NPC ships and turrets (and/or missles) are the only way to go there. To have sustained firepower, use cruiser turrets until Igiss gets the BS power/weapon effectiveness fixed unless you are PvP.

As a side note: My souped-up Bretonia BS with lvl VI armor, 2 Battlerazors, 2 Inferno Cannons, 4 Nomad turrets and 4 Corsair BS turrets was unable to dent the shields of a Huegenot cruiser even though we where side-by-side broad-siding each other. His Tizona turrets ate my shields in less than 20 seconds and I was dead in about 90 seconds and I bet less than 5% of my shots hit his ship. Yes he had 6 Tizonas and yes he had a BS shield but, I never dropped his shields by more than 10%. Explain that!
