Battleship idea to stop widespread use and make them more powerful at the same time

[silverleaf]

Radical... theres no such thing on a forum. Only people who get offended are the flametrollz.

Anyway, the idea is to make using capships a last resort and not a swiss army knife one size pwnz all.
Its supposed to be the WIN that costs.

Of course, you do understand that your opinions are opinions and not discovery's final statement.

Stating my opinion: Capships have their own role. Capital ships are just another sort of ship - no different than a light fighter, heavy fighter, gunboat, bomber, transport, whatever.

In my opinion, battleships should not be overpowered, but they should not be underpowered. At the moment, you can't kill fighters with battleships, and they can't kill you. Bombers are really for killing capships - but if you have enough escorts you should be able to take them - and no capship should, in RP, exist without escorts.

There is of course, no such thing as an absolute in discovery. There is no absolute win, there is no absolute uber-pwnage ship. There are just ships - each with their different usage. No capital ship pilot is any different from a fighter pilot. No capital ship pilot is different from any civilian. In fact, most of the time, the capships are taking commands from the fighters.

If you want to have power, you earn it with respect. If you want to have power, you earn it with being a good person. If you want to have power, you don't do it this way.

I wander around with 22,500,000credits worth of nuclear devices in my cargo. On just a pansy little transport. Grow a pair, Battleships!

It always did bug me that restocking a fighter cost more than a battleship.

Silverleaf, you do have a point, we cant sweep isues under the rug and should try fix problems when they arise, before they develop into a worse issue.

Silverleaf, im holidaying at the moment, but PM me if you want to start again, in a fighter, play in character, RPing with the excellent dudes on this server, and i'll help you out and fly with you:)
no capships or 5000cargo transports, just some excellent dialog. You'll be surprised with how much fun it is.

Ganking. With 3x armor and 2x damage and turret speed, good luck. Good luck.

Still won't do anything... SNAC has 2000 range, Battlerazors have about 1000.

Like I said in your other thread... You can be the most powerful battleship in the world, but 130000 damage worth of SNAC still hurts.

Silverleaf, why is it you need to invent a new game mechanic to deter yourself from using your cruiser against pirates?
