Best Capital ship

[Camtheman]

Edit: Also, Battleships are only really effective when they have escorts, so unless you're looking to join a faction and get a Battleship, you may want to stick to Cruisers, as at least they can run away quite quickly if needs be, BSs just get stuck in combat and die if the enemy has a single CD, and is more powerful.

LOL, Obviously you've never gone against any experienced BS pilots.

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.

Have you? What faction do you kill zoners that much? Hmm?

A battleship cannot kite another battleship, that doesnt make sense. Ive avoided numerous mortars in my Jink. Cruisers are major fail If you know what your doing in a BS. If you've got a fighter or bomber with you they can easilly be killed. It is INEVTIABLE that both of you kiss eachother and the larger will almost always win unless your a light BS and you know what your doing.

Heaviest bs > Heavier BS > Heavy BS

The food chain.

Cruise up on the Cruiser, stop, as it -tries- to thrust away it'll be at about 2.2k+ when your generators are back, so you can clobber it mercilessly while the Fighter/bomber CD's it.

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).

The same goes for all BS's, not just the juggy silly. The juggy can avoid mortars easily at 3k+, any closer than that and it doesnt matter because superior hull and damage output will easily destroy the competition. (Except for caps with more turrets, then it gets interesting, like 18 turret ships)
