Thoughts on battleships

[McNeo]

Actually, Battlecruisers are for hunting Cruisers and gunboats. If it were a BS killer that engagement between Bismarck and Hood would have turned out much differently.

Also, no faction limitations. Just make em cost seven hundred a pop, and the license three. People will think twice...

I thought we had established that this wasn't real life?:unsure:. Im talking about a radical change in tactical usage of the name "Battlecruiser", not what it is now (or was in WWII). This can make factions think twice before going near a battle with their flagship when one of these is about. If battleships become moster tanks, then would the major factions of Sirius attempt to counter this? I think so...

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

I do not agree with rising prices. It doesn't stop or deter people from getting battleships, it just makes their wait longer. I know for a fact that I would not have stopped trading until I got a battleship in 4.80 when I joined, whatever the price. Pricing isn't the way to go. People will still buy them, it'll just take longer.

Prices now are fine in the new Beta; if they went any higher, it would be a pain to everyone. I still agree with one per faction suggestion (unless specifically good RP warrants more than one, or one for an untagged player).

@P Funk: Meh, I won't flame you. If the changes go through, the Inferno would become the Outcast version of the battlerazor, and all the houses would get a Hull killer (rapid-fire, very slow fire, variants like that I presume). I have no need to flame you so, its fine.
