I would make cruisers able to store 40 missiles (currently 30) and battleships able to store 60 missiles (currently 20, this makes battleship missiles useless. Also, refire rate of 0,05 is making the cruiser missile better)

It was mentioned multiple times before.
Capship combat - battleship fleet combat especially is so fast that bot trading is one of key factors in it, that is also heavily dependent on the level of teamwork.
yes, it does require good teamwork to quickly react to a bunch of battleships uncloaking into your back, simultaneously organize a focused fire return & bot trade within 8-10 seconds with the ship that is being focused by the enemy.
Because those 8-10 seconds is the time until you'll start suffering losses.
If bot trading harms snubfights and makes them last half an hour and more, just fix snubfights, don't break capfights.
And I somewhat doubt that your proposal had something like 5x hull increase in mind to compensate for the loss of nanobot redistribution mechanic among the fleet.
(one of the best examples I had before - a fight against worse coordinated force, where our flagship that got focused by enemy force went through ~10-12k nanobots in total. Guess how long that fight lasted? whole ~5 minutes, we only avoided suffering losses due to better teamwork. And that was a really long and intense battleship combat. So yeh, better go fix the hour long snubfights somehow, then.)
well i did propose buffing hull significantly, and yes 5 times if that is what it takes. i don't want to make any guesses on numbers, but I dont really think it would be all that difficult to work out through trial-and-error, nor a major gamechanger. there are other ways to protect your flagship than botsharing.
the point is that it seems really ridiculous that two semi-skilled bombers can take down a cappilot of same skill; or a cappilot with absolutely zero skill but a ship full of regens can totally and utterly destroy a good snub brawl you might have invested half an hour in. it's boring as hell, and I don't think it has to be such a huge deal to try to experiment with alternate solutions to the situation we've got. it can't get any worse.
