Honestly though, either make battleships etc worth their credits or remove them.
Many mods give up on trying to balance capital ships to bombers etc but it is possible and has been done before, with great benefits to all.
If we remove battleships then sooner or later people will say the same about cruisers, on and on, till we all end up in starfliers then we will have no mod.
Bombers are IMO too powerful. A battleship with large fighter escort is still extremely easy to kill with a few bombers. I do think that cap ships (with the exception of GB's) are underpowered. However there is a very good reason for that which I have outlined above.
That said, I have been flying with a pack of xeno's round NY causing some ruckus, which has been brought to a very abrupt halt by a battlecruiser.
Balence is a tough call, but large ships have been heavily abused in the past, and still are. If we could guarantee that every caps ship owner would roleplay and not just go on sirius wide rampages regarding it as a way to get loads of kills and pwn everyone then I'd be fine with them being pretty uber.
