Battleship thrusters

[Prysin]

what battleships are "meant" for is subjective...

... currently - those that say "battleships MUST be used in a team" have the upper hand. - but there is like NO basis for that opinion. - think of sci-fi settings like star trek - where battleships get along perfectly fine WITHOUT escorts.

so its just in the heads of the players that battleships must have escorts.

the above is just a reminder that there is no dogma about what must and must not be.
in general - battleships with thrusters is a troubling one - and when facing 4+ bombers ... yes, you re probably screwed. - however.... if you team up with 3 mates and intercept a lone battleship - YOU will want to have a chance to kill it - before it flies 200k to a base. ( blue messages are the currency of pvpers )

thrusters also allow directional changes - so even if the thruster only took a battleship from 90 to 100ms - such a ship would be able to E-kill / turn... a feature that allows battleships to be even more like overweight fighters in terms of tactics.
either way - the bomber / anti-battleship lobby is large ... and chances to buff up battleships are near zero. ( no, i m not saying that its just or unjust )

from the current point of view - it would be more logical to give them their CDs back before we experiement with thrusters.

yeah, CD's would be nice especially when missions get bugged and you get osirises flying in cricles (while in cruise) and shooting at you with no time or chance to kill them....


Yes thrusters would possibly increase the turn rate, question is how much?!
