BHG BS

[Dashiell]

I have a small issiue with the BH BS.

I really like the thing: it looks awesome, it handles well and it doesn`t come to bits too easily (unlike most BHG ships:P)

but the powerplant is just too weak.

I understand that it`s a small BS so its strongpoint is dodging and not whaling.
however, after using it for some hours I`ve come to realise that the powerplant may be a tad on the weak side.

I have 1 Heavy mortar, 1 pulse and the rest primaries.

when I fire the primaries and pulse in one group I lose power quite fast. a few folleys and then I have to resort to shouting and harsh language to melt the shield of the enemy ship. using the heavy mortar drains almost a full energy bar. using 2 missles also drains almost the entire bar.

I`ve had it happen to me quite often now that by the time an enemy BS`s shield is down, I have no weaponpower left. and that`s just with 1 pulse and stardard turrets. whereas for exaple an osiris can melt the BHG BS shield in no time with multiple pulse cannons. and can happily continue to wreck the BHG BS` hull.

Is it an idea to up the powerplant just a tad? so that the BHG BS can make effective use of heavy weapons without running low on energy far too fast? as it stands now, using the heavy hitters effectivily is nigh impossible.

I`m not saying it should be able to fire mortars, pulse cannons and god knows what like nobody`s bussiness, but the powerplant as it is now is just too weak imho. it already has a weaker shield and hull than the other BS`s so I reckon it`d be far if it could dish out some more hurting.
