I may indeed not be the right person to post my opinion here and talk from experience in such matters. But fact of the matter is , that I have been flying only one battleship for close to an year now. During that time , I learned alot , realy alot. Changed my tactics and my weapons choices. But the most important thing that I realised while flying a Battleship is that , I quote Jinx " You don't need to see a fireball to win a fight ... ". Completely true , in my humble opinion.
Now , on topic. Cam , like it or not , sir. You are in possesion of a ZONER Juggernaught. The people you have chosen to support and role play , zoners , actually have no enemies. You argument that Harvesters , Wilde and Keepers are enemies of the Zoners , realy are ridiculous , unnecessary and will probly not convince anyone to change the current power of your ship. Do you realy think that a Zoner Juggernaught is needed to counter 3 factions ? Not to mention that the few , selected and pointed as enemies of the Zoners , factions are quite rare , but even that is not the most important thing about them. I'll brake the information for you.
Harvesters - We have one Cruiser , very nice looks thanks to Jinx , wich is hardly a threat to a Zoner Juggernaught. No matter how bad you at flying your ship , that cruiser will never be able to destroy the Juggernaught , alone.
Wilde - Well , I don't realy think there is much to say about them realy. The Wilde , as I'm sure you know , are found in nothing larger then a Gunboat. Aldo it has impressive looks , hardly a real thrat to a Juggernaught.
Keepers - Yes , here you actually have a faction that has and flies Battleships. I'm convinced however that , when even the Harbringer or the Infinity show themselves in a system , such as Delta for instance , they will be atacked by alot more people , then just you. In other words , unless you are intentionaly looking for a fight with one of them , alone , you are not going to face them in a 1to1 combat.
The Zonner Juggernaught is a very impressive ship , but it is made to reflect the needs of those who fly it , Zoners. Aldo it has a scary and "cool" sounding the name , the Juggernaught is more of a slumbering giant. Don't get me wrong , it can pack a huge punch , but that is not the purpose it is made for.
If you cannot defeat a group of Nomad NPC's in that ship , then you , sir , are doing something wrong.
About the Battleship Missle turrets :
Like Mule , kindly stated above , if you are able to hit a Fighter/Bomber with such a weapon , you are cheating. I'll add something to his statement , you are either cheating or the bomber/fighter pilot is standing perfectly still.
Those weapons have been made for a purpose and that purpose , they do very well. They are ment to be a strategic anti capital ship weapon , used when the "timing is right" , not spammed with the expected results of "uber pwning everything" in it's path.
The Capital ship Razors :
Simply put , you are not correct , Cam. Firing two Razors will NOT drain the energy of your Battleship , having 9 million energy. I'm possitive that even I can fire two at the same time and still have enought energy to continue firing. But like Mule stated , no more then 1 of these speacial weapons , is needed. Again , for the job it's ment to do it's good enought. It is not imbalanced but with training one can become relativly good at sniping bombers and Guboats with it who are not experienced to fight againts the Razor.
Tenacity , like I said before , if the speed of the Cruiser Razors is encreaced , they will become a nightmare for bombers facing smaller cruisers. Always remember , there are other Cruiser class ships , yours is just one of them.
About the Carrier : Tenacity , I'm possitive that even if you get 2 BS turrets and mount Flak Turrets on them , you will not be satisfied with them. Currently your ship is fine as it is , it got smaller and harder to kill. I say that is enought. We have tested alot , you know that you can't kill me alone and I can't kill you either. But am I constantly complaining about that fact ? A Battleship cannot destroy a cruiser / battlecruiser , actually it cannot destroy anything with a thruster. But that is how it's ment to be , two cruisers , IF FLOWN correctly can easily destroy a Battlship.
A word of recomendation for everyone.
Before posting and complaining about how imbalanced and worthless some weapons are , test them. Test them alot , that is what I've been doing and that is what you need to do. The new system is a step in the right direction for improving capital class weapons. No longer does someone need to plant all secondaries/primaries and be ready to face anything. For your capital ship to be able to stand againts others , you need two things.
1st - Tactics / Know your weaknesses and try to work around them.
2nd - Weapon groups. This one is a must for everything GB and above.
Being bigger/having more armor and more weapons , does not mean that you can destroy everything , smaller is better that is why smaller ships need to know their tacticts and learn how to fight by using kitting.
