Capships, increasingly slower fighters? Or strategic weapons?

[Edge]

Eh? A single bomber killing a BS? Where did you see that? That can never happen unless BS captain is afk and bomber is armed with 4 coladas.
2 bombers can't beat a medium sized battleship if the captain is good.
That means, 2 bombers can't beat a cap8 Osiris/Lib dread/Togo if the captain knows his job.
3 bombers are fair play.
In case of 2 bombers, escort really helps. Ask the phantoms.

Snubnose armor : 21.800 x 2.5 = 55k
BS turret damage : 2400 x 12-18 = 28.800-43.200

60x28.800 = 1.728.000
60x43.200 = 2.529.000

Again.. Eh? Even with bots bats you don't need more then 4,5 hits to kill it.

As I said, making battleships stronger will just ruin the fun for most people.
You can continue your rant about real life and RP.
I'v even seen people saying how it's bad RP to beat a BS with 3 bombers.
And you know what? I rarely ever see a BS escorted with support fighters (Eagle, HF's, LF's).
Ex-BSG was able to protect it's battlestar (Warhammer) for a very very long time.
Know why? Because we always had 5-6 Vipers with it. If we didn't, it wouldn't undock.

BATTLESHIPS ARE NOT ALL-SITUATION CRAFTS!
DON'T USE BATTLESHIPS IN SITUATIONS THAT DON'T REQUIRE BATTLESHIPS!

And if you can land 5 hits in a row with a BS on a bomber (rogue bomber, the biggest and slowest around) you're a God. FL mechanics son, all turrets are at different distances from the target. Even if your aim is damn perfect, you will miss. Liked what I read in Dusty Lens's first post.

"I've ideas, naturally. But they'll also be all wrong, naturally, so let's hear Chopper and Mjolner talk at each other while the rest of us throw in horrible ideas in between!"

Well, lads, don't stop from talking... running to get a piece of paper to note your wisdom on it.:lol:
