No. Comparing starships to seaships is a bad idea.
I prefer to make them what i posted before. Not just big clumsy fighters.
They are *BATTLESHIPS*. The terror of the space. Not big fighters used as n00b practice target.
A battleship engeging a fighter should sound like this.
--Tac: Sir, we have an inbound fighter. Its targeting us with novas!
--Capt: Target the bogy (spelling?) and fire AF weps.
...
--Capt: So?
--Tac: I dont know where he s sir. I lost track after the 300 missiles we fired on him hit... I think he won't bother us anymore.
get it?
Fighter gets close... fighter goes kabooom.
Battleship needs to have 2 weapons class.
1. Long range weps. 5k range. Low refire, fast speed (5k in a sec should do). but crappy turret turn rate.
Battleship engages each other from long distances. A close encounter should be rare.
2. Short range weps. 1.5k range. Anti fighter. Fast firing, fast speed. Good turret turn rate.
