The Dreadnought Dilemma - the ideal role of heavy caps in disco

[LuckyOne]

Perhaps the main problem is not so much in the need for inRP restrictions, but the fact that the game lacks any kind of information of your fleet composition at a glance. Maybe if we could get classes of ships shown on the contact list (custom icons by class, anyone ?) it could be easier to know when it's time to switch to another kind of ship to make the best move for your group.

Personally, heavy caps for me aren't that attractive. Sure they have their role as fleet anchors, and have lots of health, but what do they really have going for them ?

Maybe the fact that the big BBs are left as arguably the easiest class to play - little need for thruster / shield / positioning management while all the other caps seem to have gained complicated mechanics players need to keep track of in order to enjoy them is what draws so many players to fly them.
