Regarding the cruise changes

[mjolnir]

As I believe was previously stated, doing high-level anti-cap missions in a cap is now pretty pointless. The energy drain renders you helpless. I'm not entirely certain how to get around this one in particular (with the caps) without it becoming useless at stopping caps chasing smaller ships. Perhaps give ships (just caps or all ships) a set 10-15 second cooldown in which their energy does not regen, then just boost it back up to full.

It is kind of hard yes, but GBs and cruisers can thrust in and dodge until they see the enemy. Tbh doing these anti-cap missions in Gbs and Cruisers was very difficult even before. On the other hand they make for a nice bomber training. I'd say the missions could get a bit more rewarding (money wise) by adding some more credit cards to the NPC Caps.

I dont honestly care if some noob tries to cruise to catch up to me, whether or not I can prove it I'll either kill him or die. What I care about is not having my own capability in combat gimped because some idiot cant follow the rules - and this does effect -every- combat situation that exists on the server, because cruise is -always- used as an entry tactic.

Somehow you sounded rather differently when BHG BS killed your carrier within 20 seconds using similar tactic, oh well.

In 27 seconds, a single battleship can run me out of bats and bots, and have me near death.

Why would you start a fight by cruising next to a stationary enemy BS? That doesn't sound clever. Neither do that other situation you are talking about, where you cruise next to other smaller ships that sit still. I guess you want to 1-2 kill them or?
