Hard to master - they're very easy to learn, but mastering stuff like perfectly managing range on the fastest-paced cap class will naturally draw people away from it. One mistake can mean an instakill or all your regens gone, and it can happen in a split second. I've no doubt you haven't mastered them or this thread wouldn't exist in the first place.

Bringing mastery into a balance discussion doesn't seem terribly useful to mention to me. If your balance philosophy is to consider a ship class based on the best of its userbase, the average joe (and below) players are going to struggle a lot with it. That isn't to say powerful ships shouldn't come with a little more difficulty or responsibility, but just for accessibility's sake it's better to judge all ship classes by what a typical player is capable of with a few rounds of practice.

That paragraph was related to me explaining why they’re the least popular cap class and not enjoyable to fly after a while for me. I mastered them, I don’t have the problem, but someone trying to get into flying gunboats all the time will find it a chore. The first reason is really the main one - it’s just too repetitive and one-dimensional. It has nothing to do with actual balance, I wrote already that balance-wise they’re strong. It’s about fun.
