Nova, Lex and myself came up with some ideas awhile ago.
I think Lex has the document, bully him for it!
In general, it was a overhaul of all caps. Some of the general points were:
- Thrusters are removed from them all. Impulse speed increase on some
- Turn/Strafe speed reduced
- Guns velocity was increased, refire and turn rate reduced
- Dreadnoughts specialize at Long-range anti-cap, something like 8 heavy turrets and loses its prims.
- Destroyers become a close-range anti-cap with shotgun like weaponry
- Gunboats maintain their role as a screening ship for Caps, they protect larger caps from snubs. But they're easier to hit, removing their invulnerability by excessive dodging.
- Battlecruisers are turned into Assault cruisers. Good forward arcs and forward firepower, but are venerable to flanks and being chased.
I think there was more, but I can't remember off the top of my head.
