Battleships-POWER UP!

[yurineova]

I am absolutely against buffing the battleships. I know it seems a bit daft how the hell can a 2km long ship be destroyed by 2 bombers /actually thinking about it, a single shot in the reactor might do that but i suppose that's just me geeking about it/. The amount of capships currently flown by players who have absolutely no idea about roleplay and much less about fair play will almost render small scale fighter raids useless. For example: yesterday, a nice 5 man Sabre raid in Gamma, the dude flying the solaris Ossie was a true bro and withdrew when enough fighters to counter us arrived, for the next 30 minutes the fight was extremely fun until an Outcast dreadnaught decided to "help" and in helping killed 2 teammates. Now imagine him having a buffed version of his ship.

I do support the Idea that the big capital ships should be given in limited numbers by the A.D.M.I.N.S to the official factions. I even support a certain house/faction should have a preset number of capships available like in Mass Effect it is stated that every nation has a certain amount of dreadnoughts and carriers. For example Liberty as can get up to 10 dreadnoughts but only 5 carriers, Rhienland can have 7 dreads and 10 cruisers or something like it but all of that is in a better world and if applied Disco will lose at least 20% of its current players

After killing the bold and bright white lettering for easier reading;

As far as limiting the allowable capships, I think is a no no. Limiting the capitals ships to offical factions makes sense because Independants shouldnt have access nor the wealth to own and operate such a vessel.

Furthermore, the only problem I see is that factions will limit the ships by rank, which makes it difficult for players themselves to get the capital in the first place.

We dont need the admins to hand out battleships, thats going to put a huge stress on them. If you want to limit it on a permission basis, leave it up the the official faction leaders (IE, a Rheinland Battleship would be granted by the leader of RM).
