Best Capital ship

[Montezuma/Kukulcan]

not really. You ever had or fought one?
I had quite some battleships so far and fights against other caps usually are interesting. With the jug it was like playground. The only time i got killed with it by another cap was against 2 nomad battleships. All one on ones against other battleships or cruisers were easy going. Its also the only ship i know where you can fire three mortars the same time and they hit the enemy with enough time in between so that the second or third one keeps on damaging the hull, while first or second downed the shield. pretty comfortable to fight like that, too.
And by the time you noticed something is missing on your 6 mio hull, the opponent most likely is already burning;)

I've fought many, MANY Juggies, the thing is, the Juggy is huge, and can be bombarded by other ships from extreme range, where they can either stay un-hit, or they can simply kite it. I mean the Juggy is the easiest ship ever to kite against, so easy that I'd bet even a Legate or a KuBS could kite a Juggy and kill it. Basically, try fighting an Osiris who knows how to kite, then try fighting a Valor who knows how to fight, you'll pretty quickly see why the Juggy is really not that great.

Almost every BS in the game can either kite the Juggy, or beat it head on (by staying at range for as long as possible), the few exceptions may be the Lib Carrier (worst BS in the game), the Sarissa (almost as bad) and the Marduk, which is much bigger than the Juggy, and would present an even fight, given that it runs out of power so fast with those Nom turrets on the Juggy's 6 mil hull (with CAU8).


Also, the Geb is the same size as the Osiris, but less agile, and it can only thrust to 119 ms, the bullhead is much smaller, turns much faster, and can thrust to 140 ms. The Bullhead pilot simply has to know how to use those advantages, and if the pilot does, the Geb will die. And yeah, the Mako is not a very good BS, however, I'd still bet it could kite a Juggy and win (especially if it has a Mortar or two on a 360 slot).
