Nighthawk, if you are interested, PM me, and I will show you.
Sorry, I was only stating the obvious. Some might call that cynicism.
The fact remains that capital ships are not bugged, or unbalanced in terms of power and cruise engines. The actions of a few players should not rectify the need for a nerf that effects everybody. I have never cruised to catch up with anybody that has been using thrusters to escape, why should I be punished for it?
There exists a rule to stop people from doing this already. That is enough. If a fighters' power core supports the ability to cruise without drain, then why does it make sense for a capital ships' power core to drain while cruising? You might argue that it is bigger, but then again so is its' power core. So an RP reasoning won't do much good either.
I don't think we need to alter game mechanics to force people to obey the rules. Because even if this is implemented, the cruise to catch up rule will still need to exist. So now we'll not only have a major disadvantage to capital ships, but no problem solved, either. Because in case you forgot, fighters can cruise to catch up, also.
