Capital Ship Rebalancing Proposal

[Tenacity]

Why not just up BC impulse to 100 and remove their thrusters?

You would honestly trade off 140m/s thruster speed for a gain of 10m/s impulse? Sorry luna, but that helps no one, and would only serve to nerf the two half-decent bc's in the game right now that -do- have thrusters. Try keeping range from a battleship that has 3k guns when you can only move 10m/s faster, it aint happening.

It isnt just about speed. Yes, thrusters allow bc's and cruisers to get out of bs weapon range or at least get to a range where dodging is possible - but more than that, thrusters double the effectiveness of 'drifting', which makes it far easier to bring weapon arcs to bear on your target, and far easier to dodge any heavy weaponry being fired at you.
