The Geb - Pancakes - 02-26-2015
So, we have the Geb. As it's now a battleship rather than a BC like it used to be we have, at least from what I can tell, a VERY overpowered battleship.
Size-wise, Geb is smaller than Togo, which I believe everyone will agree is already very small as it it is. It's also the fastest turning battleship in the mod, at the moment. I can't really comment on its arcs since all I did was look at the hitbox and read the FLstat stats of it.
So - discuss.
RE: The Geb - NonSequitor - 02-26-2015
I tried out a Geb in the previous mod and it did seem quite robust - lots of secondaries, relatively small profile and decent turn rate.
If it has to be nerfed, I'd just restrict the firing arcs on the primaries. Thus, it would cease to be less of a capital-killer and more of a support vessel.
Or just bump the Mako up to a medium class BS to help even out the odds

Its arcs are completely ridiculous and it's fatter than Osiris. It also has light powercore just like Ossie

As I said - not sure about the arcs but it's definitely smaller than any other battleship - and that includes the Osiris.
Referece - Geb vs Osiris (Geb in red). In fact, the geb has a front profile smaller by 25% or so. It is also smaller on all other accounts, except for a small part in the 'above' view of the ship, with those 2 small wings.
As I said, Geb is smaller than the Togo
EDIT: and how could I forget - Geb vs Mako
In the last case, of Geb vs Mako, it should also be noted that Mako has a turnrate of 8.71 degrees a second while Geb has 12.61, 44% faster turn rate.
@NonSequitor
It doesn't have just 'decent' turn rate, it has the best turn rate in the game out of any other battleship. In fact, it turns FASTER than the battlecruisers (bulk turn rate though, cruisers can do tricks with thruster that geb can't do).
