Haegemonia! I love that game! Please tell me its the Human battleship or (the guys that use Ion guns) cruiser!
My BH battleship is also pretty cool. I haven't rebalanced the loadout at all since i got it in 4.81, so it still has 4 infernos and 2 battlerazors. Yum.... But this battleship is very good. It looks large from the back, but it is really small at the front, so I will agree, if you pilot one well, you can do a lot of damage.
Also, the BH Destroyer is actually quite good. It may turn less well than other house counterparts, but hey, i managed to fend off 2 Raven's talons in one. I know a gunboat can do better, and i did lose quite a bit of hull forcing one of them to retreat, but I like my destroyer. Did I mention, in 4.82 that thing could kill a battleship singlehanded?
And also, the BH Destroyer has the best coverage of any destroyer in my opinion. Two on the top, two on the left, two on the right, and two on the bottom.

So...we have a BC now? I don't understand why we need one. I mean, I do like the concept of one, but as discussed here, BH are faster and weaker than the others. A BC doesn't fit that description. What we do need is a gunboat, possibly a bit larger than the rogue gunboat with one extra gun. Also, if you really want to be biased for BH's, increase the maneuverability of the Destroyer. After all, a destroyer should turn faster than a cruiser...
