directly related: - the BHG BC are not too good. they have the average BC stats ( like the albatros ), are fairly easy to fly ( low profile ) and slow enough to make a good big target. - BC like, they have tons of energy and efficient weaponry though.
a reason why its used so much is - it can allmost match a smaller battleship, costs only 280million and requires no license. ( as opposed to 700million for a BHG battleship + 250million for the license - and the BC can basicly smoke the BHG battleship if equipped as a cap killer, due to the more efficient weaponry < the bigger the ships, the less efficient the weapons > )
do i hear battlecruiser license? - its simply the best ship in the game for the bucks it costs. ( when you compare only capital ships ) maybe the price of battlecruisers should just be increased a little to 500 million - so they fill a niche between cruisers and battleships - and thats reflected in the pricing, too.
