Lake Huron Super Carrier

[Jinx]

its a good ship - and a tough one to balance. - but not in term to balance in terms of fairness - but in terms of differentiating from the dreadnought.

while the current carrier has a distinct different shape, it wasn t hard to apply really different stats to it. - its compact look, its large profile instantly made it a "heavy" battleship.

now - liberty "suffers" from the fact that the current dreadnought is both - a very small battleship... with ( compared to custom battleships ) exceedingly high stats ( i mean: extremely high hitpoints + medium powerplant .... if it had been a BHG battleship of the same size / shape - it d had mako stats ( low armor, low power ) for sure )

why is that a problem?

the one you present here is longer - but not much different in shape. thats a good thing in terms of contunuity of design - and bad in terms of "soo, how will it be different?"

by the looks of it, i d say - a little more armour, but hardly a heavy powerplant to be honest. - and thats not enough to justify a whole different ship.

on the other hand we got examples of strange shapes / stats. - outcasts: their DN is heavy and has more armour than their battleship - but i m not entirely sure if the DN is even larger or actually smaller than their overlarge battleship ( but then the battleship is a thin stick, too )

thin and long ships are somewhat troublesome. saying "but look, it is very long" doesn t make it heavy. arguing with a factions lore is problematic, too - if that was the case, the jinkusu would probably have 32 turrets ( and defeat enemies by crashing the server )

additionally - since it liberty, a house that was and still is ( and probably will be ) very popular .... balance is more important than many other factions ( and don t say, make it SRP only - we shouldn t really start such arguments for every battleship ) - so i wonder what balance propositions are being made.
