Capital ships

[Govedo13]

That and, you could model new ships to reflect the forward firepower.

This could be done really easy. Just add change the currnet forward based hard-points and limit their rotation.
I think it can be done even without changing the model,it is only slight hard-point change.
The major problem will be how to balance the whole deal. And I agree with the OP that some high damage forward only cannons would be fun.On the other side there are limitations.
Like how often you can shoot them to make them worth energy-wise and how much damage they shall bring.
Think heavy motar here. It does really huge damage to unarmoured battleships and relative nothing to armoured one.There are a lot of limitations connected with the capital ships.
About cruisers I do agree. They are kind of useless class right now, only the Ku dessie is exception.
All cruisers have no chance against 2 bombers. The most have no chance against other vessels,the same with the battle-cruisers.

Official faction players that are often accused of elitism, never deploy them and have those weird, immersion killing "fair fight/dueling" suicidal hobbies. (yes, i've seen enough of those lolduels, where house military with overwhelming force on the field willingly loses a pilot in a duel. ffs.)
