what I find ridiculous is the huge disparity between difficulty in taking down a battleship, or taking down a cruiser/battlecruiser.
Whenever I go up against a battleship in my praetorian bomber, my supernovas barely even seem to scratch the hull, and on top of that my shieldbusters (FOUR colada del cids) dont even make the shields budge.
However, I almost solo'd a battlecruiser the other night, without much of a problem at all. My coladas could -easily- keep his shield down, and my supernovas put a real dent in his hull.
I attacked a cruiser later on and it didnt really seem any more squishy than the battlecruiser, and was equally easy to aim at.
So basically, right now, cruisers are battleships with crap for shielding/hull.
