Wacky Idea (warning: opinions contained within)

[Haste]

People don't whip out their Titan class ships in Eve on a whim for a reason.

And it'd be great if the same could be said of Battleships in Discovery Freelancer.

If they were powerful but really rare, that'd be a lot more fun to bring down. It'd be a sort of mini-event every time someone whipped one out and bombers logged in to try and down it.

Right now caps are a sort of chore for bomber pilots. You log in a few bombers, dance around the cap(s) and lob your SNACs / Novas until its giant number of hitpoints finally runs out. Hurray. Then it logs back in 2 hours later. Nothing fun about it.

Edit:

Although, to be honest, a 24-hour downtime will reduce capspam but not by a giant margin. After all, you can have multiple caps if you really want to and being able to, say, use seven different caps every 24 hours would be pretty.. spammy.
