factionized flagships

[El Nino]

Well if only adding armor is the key, simply give them a Flag Armor upgrade, let's say x10 instead of the regular top x4...



I would be reluctant to vote for factionized flagships... As jinx stated, players like their odds - Equal. If a faction can spend 1600M on a ship, why couldn't an indeependant pilot.

And capital ships are not as useless as It may appear at first glance, it is just that the mod is balanced for 1 on 1, giving every player similar chance, and as soon as 2 on 1 cracks open you start having trouble and odds fall from there forward, That's all due to lenghty combat... as even without supernovas 6 bombers can deal the same damage as a battleship, and cost what 36 milion?

If you however do get destroyed by two bombers you should hire a trainer and start training as something is wrong with your skills...

I regulary fly In cap against many bombers and fighters, and even 4 bombers if meet with prompt accurate fires can be fended of. While a bomber does his run if you can put sufficent fire on him he will go down no sweat. But for that you need skill, the comodity trading characters seldom invest in. And traders buy battleships... not warriors it seems.

As far as balance goes, if we would double capital ship's damage things would look a lot diffrent, and those 12000k energy munching cannons would be worth their salt.
