Make all BS's the same. Sounds pretty much fair, since this is a huge whining coumunity. Same size, armor, powerpalnt, different design. Then, all what we would need is a skill, or tactics.
And for those fighter drivers, again, get yourself bigger ship, and quit with whining ahhg.
** [edit] btw - BS is bit bugged, when you hit the go to option, it starts to dance with it ass, from left to right, constantly, so its impossible to use it. **

The dancing is the anti-pinball solution. If it really bugs you, use 3rd person view. If you haven't done say, take your big ship through an asteroid field now and you'll see what I mean. This IS the fix for that - so for now, we have to put up with the shake and shimmy.
And no, we don't want them all the same. Otherwise we could just use one fighter, one bomber, one gunboat - and everyone has the same generic thing. It's part of the flavor of the specific faction.

So if you have a preference for fighters, shut up and suck it up? I don't think so. Balance is about establishing a way for all players to get as much as possible as they can from the game.
And based on my experiences recently, it is possible to have all size ships involved in a battle and for everyone to have fun. Maybe it's just me.
What should we do, switch to fighters just to pleased them? Hmm, most of those players have bigger ships in their, lets say "garages", and they had enough of them, want to switch to something else, good, do what you want, have fun, but don't whine about it.
I kill fighters/bombers only in self defence, i was engaged many times by them, and when you kill them, you get " aaa cap whore, aaa " its so annoying, then you come to forums, and you see the same thing. Every fighter/bomber can simple just thrust away from any cruiser, gunboat, if he doesn't wants to fight.
' Wrote:BHG BS is currently 2 times the size of Osiris because of it's hitbox, and it doesn't have Osirises backstrafe capability as it should, since it is supposed to reverse and forward fire.. Also only 2 turrets fire backwards.
The ship isn't anything close to 'uber'.
most of the Osiris i see in the server still has the bugged engine..
here is a suggestion about a replacement model - i d slap a simpler hitbox around it - the ship is basicly the same - a bit rounder and hunchbacked. - the hitbox would include the space below the ship though ( unlike the destroyer )
its as wide and tall as the current battleship - and the only thing it lacks are the current battleships horizontal wings. - without those, it can use a stretched tube for a hitbox.
it looks a bit more modern than the current one - but shoudl fit into the line of the destroyer / battlecruiser just fine enough.
Nice Design Jinx. I do however feel that a standard BS hitbox should be used for all BS's. Let's be fair, bad fighter and bomber pilots should not be awarded a hit and mayhaps a kill, for actually missing you!!
Tallyho Good Chappie! Stiff Upper Lip What?! Now, where are my pants!
