Wacky Idea (warning: opinions contained within)

[Haste]

Nothing wrong with giving Battleships some teeth, although I'd say buffing their hull and such is a bad idea. You want to make killing them challenging, not a very long and boring chore.

Of course, the above only applies if some sort of cost / downtime is 'attached' to caps. If the buffs were significant, I'd say there should be "upkeep costs" - so docking repairs should be expensive, as well as getting blown up.

Buff BS' without actual drawbacks to using them and they'll get spammed more than they are now.
