Quote:There have to be changes made in favour of balance over RP, yes. So, if we balance battleships so they can take on fighters, bombers, gunboats, cruisers and battlecruisers, then what should we fly to counter them? Other battleships, of course. Then, you have a server full of battleships.
Bombers are the counter to battleships, as are groups of other caps. However, bombers need to learn to keep their distance, so caps actually have a chance at dodging incoming fire. Hence, the need to move solaris turrets up to 1500 range and make them do some decent levels of damage.
Any bomber stupid enough to within 1k needs to pop.
Quote:Right now, the battleship is the counter for the gunboat, the cruiser and the battlecruiser. You think it should counter bombers and fighters too, I take it?
That's fine, but the bomber, being balanced against battleships like this - has become overpowered against crusiers and battlecruisers, neither of which have flak cannons or decent razor speeds to defend themselves.
