Well I can see how much annoyance it would end, but the CD is useful for lots of things.

I would hate to see it go from all capships as it would cripple them yet further.

Besides if you're in your lone fighter and a battleship pops up and starts shooting you, then you thrust away, the only way for him to catch up to you is by using cruise, than would mean that under the re-enagement rule (weird as it is) he would be considered fleeing and have to leave the system.

Oh yes! Lets remove shields too! And reduce armor by half! And lets leave them only for guns per ship!

no personally I wanna see cap ships made to block trade lanes like on that one part of SP when a liberty cruiser gets in front of a trade lane or a frigate cap ships (Which means no as good armor but good armor and better speed of a normal cap ship.)

Ships

<strike>Metroid- VIPER MKII - Licensed for nomads in both liberty and bretonia houses
Cargo Metroid- CSV - Unlicensed (I'm not gonna license my Cargo person)</strike>
Gonna start anew...

another thing to keep in minds, I remember reading somewhere that any removal of hardpoint slots from existing ships forces a character wipe.

That would make a fighter escort very useful, in fact. Even if you are fighting against another capital ship, if you want to cause enough damage to destroy it, you better have some friendly fighters near, with CD's.

Capital ships are big, mean, nasty weapons of destruction. That's the whole point of building them. To make them bigger and better than fighters.

Capital ships should be, if anything, buffed, not nerfed. However, they probably should be further limited in their ease of acquisition. Capital ships are big and expensive to build and maintain. They should not be in the hands of every Tom, Rick, and Larry out there.

I would like to see the cruise disruptors removed only if it came at the same time as an assortment of power boosts on capital ships.

That way, it wouldn't be a complete nerf, and it would also give people another reason to fly fighters.

Caps need more armor, bigger powerplants, bigger guns, more of everything, and certainly not less Cruise Disruptor. Oh, did I mention bombers need a nerf? I just watched half of Omicron Alpha die to a swarm of Praetorians. There's a problem when they can start to kill fighters, you know.

I agree totally here... capships should be limited to certain parties. I worked very hard to get my Assult Battlecruiser and even harder to get my BH Guard tag. I have the money to buy 3 others for my other characters but refuse to do so since none of them is tagged "Guard". Out of the sake of RP, I carry food, water, a spaceship crew, and light arms (in case my ship gets crippled and boarded, my last line of defense if you will). I don't pull her out too often and when I do, I try to avoid congested areas such as the main house systems.... there's WAY too many indie capships flying around thinking their King 'o' The Hill beating down lone fighters with little to no RP involved.
Should they be beefed up a bit?.....Yes
Should they be limited to "Guard" tag holders?..... DEFINATELY. (Earn the right to pilot that monster boys and girls)

My 2 cents......

You ask me why Im weary, why I cant speak to you.
You blame me for my silence, say Its time I changed and grew.
But the war's still going on dear, and theres no end that I know...
And I cant say if were ever...
I cant say if were ever gonna be free.
