My god, SilverLeaf, you are becoming the embodiment of the lolwutter here on the forums.
As many people in this thread have stated, Battleships are not "biggest and best", And will be DESTROYED by 2 bombers who know what they are doing.
You want a battleship that can go anywhere, to destroy pirates, while pirates, at thier maximum ship class, fly Gunboats.
And you were seriously thinking of raiding MALTA with a Liberty cap? You my friend, are most definetely, either a pvp-whore, or a genuine fool.
