Best Capital ship

[EisenSeele]

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;)
If you say so. Just named the GEB cause it looks pretty nice for a cruiser and 18 turrets sounds like something.
Bullhead...hmm...so would that be the bounty hunters compensation for their "battle"ships then? ;)

Generally, Jinkusus are quite screwed against many smaller ships. BS' like Ossies, Makos, Lib Dreads, and Bret BS' can actually kite pretty decently (to varying degrees) and are much more difficult to mortar than the Jinkusu (which can neither kite nor dodge in any practical capacity).

Sure, in a point blank engagement, the Jinkusu can easily overpower most other ships, but most cap pilots worth their salt will avoid close engagements and choose instead to lob mortars from afar.

As for the GEB - it does look rather nice, but the turret placement leaves much to be desired. 1v1 against most cruisers usually ends in close range overpowering or long range missile spam - Though, GEBs will be eaten alive by anything smaller than a gunboat faster than you can say STOP RAMMING ME.

As others have said before, the GEB can be pretty easily kited (though kiting a GEB is a tad tricker than kiting BS' with the exception of the Ossie among very few others). Cruiser missiles do a lot to make up for much of this, but it really depends on what you're up against and how good you are.
