' Wrote:if you aim for something the size of the juggernaut, - you d have a ship twice the size of a kusari battleship ( roughly ) - and even the juggernaut only has 16 turrets! - and only a few of them can fire rear / sideways / up and down - which is a weakspot for a ship of that size.
aside from concerns of balance - and that kusari will scream for a smaller sized medium powercore battleship then, i guess. - can bretonia actually afford a new vessel in the limitations of its roleplay that is.
one of their main raw material processing facilities is gone - and not only destroyed but taken over by the enemy - also partly cutting the mining field off ( LD-14 )
then there is an even nastier enemy right at its doorstep. ( which is not yet of any concern ... but even so )
i d rather see bretonia build refugee transports and colonization ships than superheavy dreadnoughts.
but THAT would be a discussion other than the pure model discussion. - i cannot deny that i am opposed to the idea of a bretonian heavy dreadnought - as i am opposed to the idea of a very fast rheinland battleship or actually - a kusari light battleship.
for me - its a ship that is not needed ... at least not in playerhands.
if such a ship was richly detailed and put into the game as a BASE - a bridgehead to which BAF forces can retreat to ... with if you like ... 18 turrets. - fine by me. a playable version is something i m not convinced about yet.
I intend this for something of a flagship role - a base for the BAF guard system if they want it and another Kusari Royal Yachtish thing for the Bretonians, but huge. It'd probably be Special RP Request (like a lot of ships should be). Also, I probably should have clarified when I mentioned it being the size of the Juggernaut - I meant that it would approach the size of the Juggernaut up from the Kusari Battleship; something about halfway in between. Still a warship, just a really BIG one, not a full-sized colony ship. More along the lines of the Rheinland Battleship, in fact.
