Capships, increasingly slower fighters? Or strategic weapons?

[El Nino]

Man, please stop saying things like this.
When you are buying a BS you are buying a huge armor protection.
You aren't paying for 'pwnage'. Who told you that BS can't kill anything?
I'v seen BS's (with escorts) making rampages a few times, no sweat.

You just need to team play as well. Having a BS is NOT a luxury for flying alone.
If you want to fly alone, get a GB/bomber/fighter etc etc.

BS is simply not a craft designed to fight alone, that simple.
Get 2 fighters as escorts and take on 2-3 bombers.
You'll see what I'm saying.

Here's a good one: Everybody read this!

BS's are a luxury, hard to upkeep not really that much better than the things around... Take for example a big SUV in comparison to an ordinary Sedan... it will get you places, but it's harder to park, uses more gas and when you get shot at you are a bigger target that has more armor...

Being an Admiral (the one that has his little fleet under command) you should always have fighter escorts. If you cannot roleplay and buy some escorts, you can hardly consider yourself worthy of the ship... It's not just the 750M that will make it an effective ship. For example a carrier group has somewhere from 20 to 30 ships all supporting the main ship.

There should be some changes thou... Right now a single bomber has enough firepower to potentialy kill a BS... Hell in reality it's hard if not almost imposible to take down a cruiser 1 on 1... Idealy 1 and a half bomber should have just about enough firepower to take it down (when not defending itself) and probably about 3 bombers if poorly flown and 4+ if well flown. This could be achived by raising the shield regen for about 1000, or nerfing some bomber agility... (preferable)

@Jinx. It's not fun to fly an invincible ship, most of the time people run away from you, if you like to solo things take a gunboat, If we make Cap's really to tough, then the basic fight would look like this... "Oh nohes here comes the BS let's run" You would win a fight but really what's the fun if your opponent always runs, you can do that in a pirate bomber chasing traders... but you cannot do it in a BS becouse you cannot engage cruise untill your opponent does it.

I think the dream balance team is working hard on it, correcting some uber weapons, nameley gunboats, nerfing some overpowering bombers that are to hard to hit, some models are being replaced, some turrets will be given additional range, here and there. Tripling the shields will get us nowhere fast. Small changes here and there while puting a big slice where changes are really needed...
