Revert cruiser slots changes

[Shimamori]

People that bring as an argument that something is not logical from a design point of view forget that this is a game and not real life. No everything has to follow the logic of how one would design stuff outside the pixel world. Sometimes balance and game mechanics must override real life logic for the sake of keeping things interesting in a game.

Am not a big capital ship player, but since 5.0 dropped the only cap I played was a BC and spent quite a good few hours in fleet battles. I can say that the BC main gun is perfect as it is being broadside and back firing only. The way this class seems (at least from my pov) to be meant to be played is as a support or defensively not mindless charge. You want to charge? Still have 4 heavy cruiser guns that can pack quite a punch given the power core of a BC

Yes, it is a game. And this is why the logic applied here is not taking into consideration the angular momentum that would turn the ship crew into a gelly with the turn speed of caps that by irl logic should not be moving much but instead have turrets covering as much area as possible. The bare logic of BFG shooting forward is not that much of an irl logic imposed but more of a common sense. It is not aesthetically pleasing. It is not conducive to a "believable" setting, it looks exactly like "gameplay reasons for the god of gameplay reasons" leaving everything else aside.

As I said before: if you like it - all power to you. I just want the devs to see the alternative angles presented in this topic to take into consideration when making changes. Changes cannot make everyone happy. Right now, I am not on the happy side. Perhaps, I represent the minority and people will enjoy the cruisers. But also the devs should not be surprised if these balance changes alone motivated some people to vote with the door.
