I find this pointless. Yes, the large number of ships a battlegroup has are fighter, then gunboats and cruiser, then battleships.
People USUALLY fly around in fighters. Most don't even use capships in battle. When they do, its usually a cruiser, which isn't too difficult for a fair fighter pilot. Its fine the way it is. This is just TOO complicated to even think about doing.
Also, a large group of BS with no fighters or other support are sitting ducks to ONE good fighter pilot. Unless they have a lot of missile turrets, that is.
This has only come up because the -=?=- faction use almost nothing but huegenots. So they traded alot, or did loads of missions, who is really bothered by that? I'm not, if they want to spend 20 mil+ on a ship and then spend who know's how much more outfitting it with cruiser and BS turrets that it doesn't need. I had a huegenot and, after igiss had altered the gun mounts to class 9 from class 10, I mostly had salamaca turrets on it with salamancas on the gun mounts, no torps, and I could fight a nomad patrol to a standstill on my own.
My point is that it doesn't matter what ship you have, it's what equipment you've got fitted on it and how well you use it that matters.
Damn, if this server starts to be a mess... Nobody won't come to play on!
Let us a bit of Liberty!
We have enough trading to buy Battleships...If we must pay to play with, that starts to be ridiculous!
