Do you think pirate power should equal lawfuls or should lawfuls have more in FL..?

[Dantrithor]

Battlecruisers are assault weapons, designed to be the force to break out a heavy defence for other ships to enstablish a perimeter around the sieged/attacked area. For lawfuls (in-RP), this means that you can bring a pair assault battlecruiser to cause a mess in an hostile installation/planet defence grid with it's fighter escort, while using cruisers for close support.

After the defence is enstablished you can bring the dreadnaughs as defensive/offensive semi-stationary units.

As unlawful, a battlecruiser is not required. They do not wage all-out wars (excluding corsair/outcast situation), and even in that case, battlecruiser use would be limited, considering their amount of habitable stations and planets is more limited, and can be handled by more mobile units like destroyers and bombers, while keeping Dreadnaughs as back defence.


Just my opinion on in-RP battle use of BC's and ships, feel free to ignore it altogether.

Yes, i'm evil, and i told you to ignore it right after you have went through all the text.

Summary:

Dreadnaughs: Heavy defensive units, air superiority fortresses.
Battlecruisers: Assault/siege units, designed to do fast attacks on heavy defensive grids.
Cruisers: Maneurable anti-fighter | anti-capital attack units.
Gunboats: Maneurable anti-fighter | anti-capital support escorts.

Rest of classes quite clear. So i do not think even corsairs/outcast would design a ship with the purpose of assaulting planets and stations. That's bad for bussinesses.
