Capships re-examined

[J-Kent]

You make an excellent point... I do see a solution however.

Make Capital class shields a new type... not graviton molecular etc but their own special type, and rebalance capship guns and this new shield type to make capship guns less effective on fighters (in relative terms), and effective enough on other capships to do damage, but not effective enough to end the battle so quickly.

Also by putting more blindspots on capships, their big factor becomes firing arcs, and it lends strategy to each of your movements in battle, and as long as it takes a capship to get a firing solution, this would lend time and difficulty to capship battles.

Sound good?

Also, I beg the admins to remember my views are biased towards fighters just as capship owners are biased towards capships, so neither of us knows best, the key is in making a balance between all our observations and suggestions.
