Infact 2 bombers can take down a battleship and ive seen 3 fighters with novas take down a battleship, if anything battleships are underpowered but still everyone wants to nerf the battle ship till its useless or its so expensive its imposable to get one.
I admit i have one battleship, and i like my RP that comes with it, for me or more my char its his floating home he works to keep the ship online, he never stays in one sector too long, always moving on, i didn't buy the ship because i want to pwn anyone, infact if it came to it he wouldn't fight, like i said its his home not a battleship to him, he may take the odd contract out to keep his ship moving foreword and food in the bellys of his crew but thats it (And yes that is kinda a preview to the RP story i will be writing about it).
