' Wrote:I would still prefer removing cruise drain and going back to the no cruise in combat rule. Once again, the only thing this system accomplishes is removing the one tactic cruisers and battlecruisers have against battleships - maintaining range and using long range weaponry. With battleships able to cruise up to you constantly in order to keep distance at a minimum, the smaller ships no longer stand a chance.
How or how does it do that? I can't really stress this more.
Now if BS cruises up to a cruiser, the cruiser can get out of range before BS has energy again. On the other hand the BS can't start a fight by cruising next to the cruiser.
Slow moving BCs can't get fully out of BS range if it cruises up, but those have much more firepower than normal cruisers, so they are actually better off trying to kill the BS.
Either you assuming that cruiser=BC, which is wrong. Or you simply never tried it.
