Logical balance

[Lunaphase]

Frankly, Heavy mortars and such are only good if you have the enerrgy or are having a long-range battle, which is very rare. Most battleships are balanced around frontal assalts, which means, Close and hammer away with the guns, OR, if a light bs, kite the enemy one wile doging his salvos in return.

Bluntly, ill put this next bit.

Caps need to stop being balanced just because idiots can get them, for the simple reason it doesent work.
There are far more gunboats and bombers that are problem causers, and generally those problem causers arent in the heavy battleships, but bombers or other smallcraft.

Frankly, with a 1k range on solaris, the same as the range on a cruiser, for a ship 4x the size at minimum, reguarding the heavy battleships, unless you SIT on the broadside solaris bombardment, even that wont do much due to its range and low damage.
