' Wrote:After reading this thread (and ones like in the past 2 years), here's my suggestion:
Get rid of the BC class altogether. If a faction doesn't have a cruiser, but has a BC, give them a cruiser as a replacement. The IMG comes to mind. How about the Order? Suggestion: turn the Geb into a BS (see Liberty Assault Carrier).
Honestly, what do we need Cattlebruisers for?
Cruisers have their basic tasks, i.e. killing gbs, other cruisers and BSes in packs.
BSes kill other BSes, cruisers and gbs.
IMO, the BC is nothing more than a poor man's BS. Kind of pointless, kind of superfluous.
I dont really disagree with this, but if you're going to turn the Geb into a battleship, any players who have had their gebs for an extended period should be given a free battleship license to go with it. Many players bought the ship because it was a "poor man's BS", and they didnt have the cash for a full fledged battleship.
Personally, I'd love to have my geb turned into a battleship, it'd fix a lot of the problems it has and as long as I dont have to pay anything except for new guns, I'd be happy with that solution.
