Balance: Unkillable Battleships

[Fifty.]

Ganking it with missiles helps. Many missiles. Many ships.
Many lags. Such kill, very blue.

Well, Jormungand can't mount jumpdrive and proper armor at same time.

So... JUMPING BS ARE OP PLS NERF

Decency to restrain yourself from being a dickhead. It's no surprise that such concept is unknown to you.

Can you target a jump drive? I know Ive blown off cloak's on cap ships with Nova's

[Syrus]

I think the jumping out of a fight is actually an interesting thing. But the person shouldn't be allowed back into the fight (pvp death for 2h or till they leave).

Then again I'd be totally for also having a counter against it.


EDIT: I think that either all (heavy) BS or no ship should be able to do that though.

If 2 battleships are needed to down 1 without using any skill from both sides, something is wrong.

Maybe what's wrong is that neither of you had skills, and not that the Jumping ship was OP? Also...consider that not all Caps are equal, nor should they be. The Rheinland BS is a beast of a machine, especially compared to a a Dread.

Why not increase the core usage to about 5/6 Million? Otherwise whats the point of seriously nerfing stuff weve given? This will allow people to preform "rescue missions" and theyd only be able to jump out with most of their core (ie at the start of the fight).

[quote]Edit: Or, make a new "Gravity Well Generator" that produces a jump drive inhibbiting field

I like both of those ideas. Make it a bit more costly to jump in/out of a situation.

...There's nothing to stop them from jumping out at the first sight of danger, suiciding and coming back in 5-10 minutes.

So...that gives you 5-10 minutes to kill something else until that ship gets back, and I've seen more than 1 BS get destroyed in 5 minutes. And if it's a BS, that certainly takes some hitting power out of the opposing force if it leaves, doesn't it? Let's not forget that also gives you 5-10 minutes to disengage, dock, reload, and come back, yourself.

The last speed buff totally removed any chance for battleship pilots. It is quite hypocrite to yell- BS does not give blue when he have no other chance to run because cruise speed nerf.

The battleships are so overnerfed. Leave the last bit of fun that they have. If the battleships had any proper guns and utilities they and any purpose in this game then they would fight instead using cheesy tactics.



Indeed it is not ok to jump out of battle, but there are many more important things that are much worse in this game. Battleship right now is useless class- it cannot kill shit on one side and on the other hand have no maintenance costs.
It is like Godzilla on steroids that is banned to get out of the water to smash the city.

Simple solution:
Add huge risk/reward guns (lost upon death) and maintenance costs to battleships, allow them to kill stuff in return.

Official faction players that are often accused of elitism, never deploy them and have those weird, immersion killing "fair fight/dueling" suicidal hobbies. (yes, i've seen enough of those lolduels, where house military with overwhelming force on the field willingly loses a pilot in a duel. ffs.)
