@ whoever decided to change battleship guns

[frozen]

heres an idea i brought up in skype 10 mins ago. quote:

[01:20:33] Gurjiv (Frozen) Singh says: also panzer, what i had suggested was a clash of both freelancer and eve. make battleships have around 4-5 different turret classes, and make each bs have a dedicated set of siege turrets, while the rest would be smaller turrets designed for anti fighter, etc.

so take this into consideration.

class 10 turrets become the new siege turrets, VERY LOW turning, huge size (about the size of razors, perhaps half more bigger), 8k range.
class 9 turrets become mortars, light mortars, heavy mortars, razors, pulses.
class 8 become all primaries, secondaries, solaris', cerbs.
class 7 become all cruiser turrets
class 6 become all gb turrets.

every bs ingame gets a specialized loadout. so light battleships get 4 siege turret slots, mediums get 6 siege turret slots, and heavies get 8 siege turret slots.
the siege turrets are for pure bs vs bs combat, and hopefully if alex agrees to undockable stations that go boom (kinda like battlestars and basestars on BSG mod), can use that as "factional warfare" where destroying the base helps players "reign" chunks of planets. since cannon made the auto updater, the changes can be made on a regular basis to incorporate any changes.

cerbs/primaries get 3k range, primarily for anti cruiser.
secondaris get 1.5k range, against gbs.
mortar gets booted, just heavy mortars left. 5k range, devastating.
pulses and razors stay as they are, -maybe- remove pulses and make siege turrets have either anti hull, or anti shield.
[01:20:59] Panzer says: good idea
[01:21:05] Panzer says: ***good actually
[01:21:15] Panzer says: a Zep-carrier could actually do some good
[01:21:24] Panzer says: cruiser-sized guns and a BS powerplant
[01:21:45] Panzer says: useless for going toe-to-toe vs biggies, but smalls stay the fux away
[01:22:21] Panzer says: combined with some mechanics upgrade to permit smalls to refill?
[01:22:24] Panzer says: Dreamey
[01:22:25] Gurjiv (Frozen) Singh says: it will require a bit of work, but in the long run will actually make cap warfare much fun, and allow discovery to incorporate mini-events where factions have to "capture the flag" by destroying the enemy "POS" (as eve calls player bases:P) in order to have their npcs patrol the area instead of enemies.
[01:22:46] Panzer says: what's stopping us?
[01:22:55] Gurjiv (Frozen) Singh says: [01:22:25] Gurjiv (Frozen) Singh says: it will require a bit of work,
[01:23:00] Gurjiv (Frozen) Singh says: that is.
[01:23:02] Panzer says: uh
[01:23:10] Panzer thinks

[01:23:25] Gurjiv (Frozen) Singh says: that, alongside the fact that discovery actually hates doing major changes, while agreeing to everything as long as its just "plans"
