"Battlecruiser," "Battleship" and "Dreadnought": A Distinction

[Eppy]

I am quite sure I will discover several new types of flames for posting this, but here goes:

Our Capital Ships are All Messed Up.

As I see it, there are currently three types of TRUE capital ships: Battlecruisers, Battleships, and Dreadnoughts. Battlecruisers are, by definition, the size of and as well-armed-as Battleships, but horrendously lower-armored. Hence, I request that we give the Battlecrusiers more firepower, say, four to six BS turrets instead of two.

Battleships are about where they need to be now.

My biggest dig right now, though, are Dreadnoughts: a Dreadnought should be much bigger, much more heavily armored, gunned, and much more heavily priced than a battleship. I currently fly my little Bretonian Battleship, and, though she is not a particularly maneuverable ship, just because she is so small and slightly more well armored (I pack a MK VII, as to most people's MK IV-VI), can fly circles around and easily destroy with quarter-hull-left, an Outcast Dreadnought. There are currently five ships in Discovery requiring the Dreadnough classification: The Outcast Dreadnought, the Kusari Battleship, the Rheinland Battleship, the Battlestar II, and the now-defunct Corsair Dreadnought. For their size, these ships are underarmored, underpowered, and underpriced. In mah Humble Opinion, we need these ships to get another four guns each, a half-again increase in powerplant, a half-again increase in Armor, and a price of at least a billion credits. It will persuade more people to use cheaper, lighter Battleships such as the Osiris and Bounty Hinter Battleship, and leave the Dreadnoughts to the people who can actually pay for them, such as higher-tier players and factions.

Quick comment - we thought that Panzer was the Leader, Swift. -Agmen

Which Dreadnought was that?

One of your nine.
