' Wrote:Go compare the time it takes for a Liberty Siege Cruiser to turn around comapred with the time it takes for a medium battleship (ie Liberty Dread) to turn around. If you're facing your opponent you have two options, you can joust them or you can try to turn around. Jousting a Rheinland Battleship is already decidedly suicide, and turning around once you're in firing range is even more so, since it takes a hundred years, during which the other ship is firing on you with sixteen guns of blazing plasma, and you can't do anything except pray you'll still be alive by the time you can turn around and return fire. By which time the Rheinland Battleship is probably too close to you any way, GG.
Possible solution:
Bump the forward gun's range up to 5k? That way you can take a few shots and turn at 4k.
Perhaps even 1 min long refire (so that it will be able to take potshots), but in return for the long refire, 2-3 HMs worth of damage.. or perhaps a EMP blast that would down a BS's shield in one shot.
