Battleship-user complaints

[Mickk]

Mickk, fighters can run circles around them, yes. But they should. And even one fighter with 'heavy weaponry' cannot kill a BS on its own. The shield regens to fast, and is too large. A fighter with an inferno can take the shield, but can't take the hull. A fighter with a nova can't take the hull. Only a bomber can kill a BS on its own, and it requires alot of skill to do so.

It takes usually 2 fighters to take down a cruiser/destroyer, and 3 for a battleship, as it should be.

Also, they are supposed to have a hell of a time in asteroid fields. BSs are not meant for doing that. You want easy time in fields, get a cruiser. There are advantages and disadvantages. One disadvantage is it takes awhile to get through asteroid fields.

I'm not saying that fighters shouldn't fly rings around a BS, a BS that could keep up with a fighters maneuvering would be absurd in the the extreme... (imagines a battleship jumping and twisting like a fighter:shok:)

As for the fighters, I was kinda including the bombers in the same group, which possibly led to the misunderstanding. My apologies on that point.

Oh yes, if you check my signature, you will notice that I *do* own a Cruiser, it's a Rheinland one and although it is easier to move it in a debri/asteroid field, it's still not fun to do it quickly, which is as it should be.
