Why do the capital ship have to be so bad

[Petitioner]

I don't know, I've had several good fights in the Klaxon (a libdred at only 85% core) that were a lot of fun. I've even beaten battlecruisers in the old beast a couple times, and that while on hazardous unfavorable terrain (eg Earhart). I'm also super entry-level in battleships, I think. I didn't fly caps a whole lot before the 5.0 changes, so I suppose I can't really say how it compares to before, but I don't think things are all that bad. Granted, as a battleship you need to have snubs with you to counter enemy smallboats (snubs + GBs), because otherwise your only option for dealing with them is spamming a shitload of flaks (which seems to go against the whole "get rid of rock/paper/scissors gameplay" philosophy the balance team has otherwise espoused), but if you have one or two snubs with you and you aren't facing an overwhelming enemy force, I think it's more than possible to have a good time.
