Battleships and Tradelanes

[Nightfall]

Well, the easiest way to discredit an argument is to discredit the arguer, which is what just happened. However for those of you actually interested in focusing on the argument: I left the compensating factor vague in an effort to spark brain storming for a solution, not as a reason to shoot it down before possibilities are aired. I honestly didn't have any particular ideas about what an appropriate compensating factor would be. The only other example I could think of besides the Kusari BS was the old Corsair Dreadnaught, which was notoriously difficult to put in a tradelane, but had some serious armor on the other hand. You might look at the Zoner Dread too, I'm sure it's difficult to use a tradelane with, but since its a Zoner ship it doesn't really belong in core worlds anyways. Since the 'Sair Dread is defunct I was left with the only other option-which happens to be the flagship for a faction that I participate in. The Kusari BS is not a borderworld BS, its a core world BS, where there are lots of tradelanes for its enemies to use.

I didn't mean to discredit, I was just asking. I said I may be mistaking. And Commodore is right about the SpyGlass - read the infocard.
