Battleships-POWER UP!

[Lyderies]

Read this until the point sinks in.

Any one ship is flown by only one player. We do not want to encourage the idea that one player is "better" than another, and to this end no ship is able to take on multiple ships. As I said the last time this came up-

Name any public ship that can engage more than one ship and kill them all (assuming comparable, competent skill level here). Go on.

...

That's what I thought.

It's not as simple as "battleships die to 2-3 bombers". More importantly, "1 player dies to 2-3 players". Battleships are already on the top end of the scale, since only other battleships can challenge them to a duel with any hope of victory. Any single ship can win against a single fighter with enough skill. Any single ship can win against a single bomber with enough skill. Anything bomber on up can win against a single gunboat with enough skill. Same for cruisers. Only cruisers and battleships are even physically capable of defeating a battleship in single combat, and killing a battleship with a cruiser requires a sizable skill difference. For the most part, the 1 player in a battleship can't be killed by less than 2 players not in battleships. That is the top of the totem pole, regardless of what your delusions of grandeur tell you.

----------------------------------------------

We, the dev team, have no intention of making any player more valuable than the next. Some ships might fulfill niche roles, but this is not a single-player game; one player's presence should never make other players' contributions meaningless. Roleplay is never enough to justify one player being superior to scores of other players.

well this sure did shut me up
