Capital Ship Flying

[Jinx]

skill is needed - but not like flying a fighter.

in a fighter class ship, your survivability is mostly determined by your ability to predict and dodge incoming damage.

in a capital class ship ( battleship ) - you take damage. - your greatest skill is to deal with a much greater danger that is hardly of significance for a fighter..... and that is your weapons energy bar.

you must know how to use your energy to your greatest advantage. - when to fire what weapons. - crush the enemies shields quickly to do hull damage? - slowly but steadily chew them up? - a quick burst damage?

furthermore - you need to know when to use your bats and bots. - save a few for when you see a HM incoming. - time your missiles - use your flaks to shoot down missiles / torps.

and NEVER panic.


the level of skill you need to win in a battleship is as great as the skill you need to successfully fly a fighter - but its a more calculating skill. - predict and evaluate your enemy. you don t need to adjust as much situational - but you should also very well know the capabilities of your oponent and your ship - to know when to retreat. cause a retreat must be planned much better than in a fighter that can practicly retreat whenever it wants.
