replacement BHG battleship

[Eppy]

Is that really such a bad thing?

Yes. Balance, not nerf-the-hell-out-of-every-whored-ship-in-the-game.

I've never understood why bounty hunters - usually rag-tag misfits that operate deftly below the table and under the law to apprehend criminals for one thing: cash - have such resources at their disposal as high-tech battleships and destroyers. It really makes no sense to me.

But on topic: I don't think having this battleship a weaker vessel is a bad thing. We undeniably have a truckload of PvP interested players flying these things, and making these ships stonger than they need be is not a good thing. Maybe if it's a weaker ship, more BH players will use it for RP purposes over the usual PvP purposes.

Thoughts?

I think that calling all the BHG ships larger than the Orca just plain BHG is a bit of a misnomer...I've always got the feeling that the capships are produced by and for the Guild Core, which, unlike the loose organization of actual bounty hunters that use their name, is a highly skilled and organized military force with very specific objectives (namely, blow up the Order and probably anything else that gets in their way on their eventual takeover of the universe). That would justify their presence, methinks.

As for making it a weak Battleship, I strongly disagree. Battleships need to be restricted, not nerfed. If you nerf them all the good RPers will just stop playing them because they can't RP well if they don't win once in a while...I know I'd have stopped playing long before I did if I didn't have some kind of PvP victory every now and then. Instead of trying to restrict Battleships make the RP requirements and forum participation requirements higher for them. Make a universal rule-enforced set of prerequisites and behaviors that BS pilots must abide by and give them back their PvP ability.

As for the actual model...sorry, Jinx, but I just have to say no. If it weren't for the engines, tbh, I wouldn't know which end was front or back. It's a real turn-off to one of the prettiest ships currently in the game, and that, I think, is the direction a BHG Battleship needs to go in; integrate the Corona frigate frame into the FL style, from the ground up. I mean, this model, to me, looks scattered and disjointed. I don't think it's a suitable replacement for the Corona.

Quick comment - we thought that Panzer was the Leader, Swift. -Agmen

Which Dreadnought was that?

One of your nine.
