Logical balance

[mjolnir]

Ohh this has gone from discussing combat "capabilities" of barge over sea serpent dodging to "no u".....

let's turn back to the start and the first post:

Right, we all know that capital ships are large, slow, and generally easy to hit, barring the tiny ones such as liberty dreadnought and the osirus.

However, with the larger ones, the solaris is useless, the secondaries are useless, and the main guns cant hit any small threats unless they happen to be standing still. (not likely.)

Therefore, i suggest this:

Give heavy battleships their own sheild type, with more hitpoints but same regen rate, due to the fact that they are usually twice the size of the small and medium battleships.

1. The issue with big vs small bs is being adressed by the turret split, no reason to try adding something else before that one is tested for real.

Second, make it so that BOMBERS require an escort just as much as a battleship. Both are supposed to, Lore wise, require them, however, the balance is so that the bombers are untouchable by the battleship, even with a pair of good escort pilots vs three bombers. (3v3)

Don't get this part much...

2. If bombers fly alone by itself and are intercepted by fighters then they get killed = they do need escort and are vulnerable when flying alone. When those bombers are escorted by a few fighters, say 2 bombers escorted by 2 fighters... they get killed by 4 fighters.


The second part talks about how battleship escorts work/not work vs bombers attacking the BS. Problem is that it puts all BS into one group.
LN dread/Bret BS with some solaris and 2 fighter escorts can easily defend itself from 3 bombers. RH BS will have harder time with it... => back to point 1.
