Your grammar seems to make you contradict yourself, is all

Grammar Please. I have no idea what you are saying. but , I know one thing

If only you knew what irony meant..

The Solaris refire rate compensates for the shorter range.

The battleship CAN BE WHATEVER YOU LOAD IT OUT TO BE.

You can keep telling yourself that but... an Anti-Bomber Battleship is about as useful as an Anti-Gunboat Lightfighter.

You'd be surprised. A properly set anti-fighter/bomber battleship can be really.. -really- scary.

SNAC range. 2k. What's the range of anti-fighter weapons? 1.2k? Lulz.

Most Battleships you don't even need to aim at... (unless you're flying an Orchid. That thing has weird torp slots.)

On top of that, a badly-flown Cruiser can kill a Battleship with an anti-fighter loadout by kiting with pulseght mortars. I used a Liberty Rogue Destroyer to beat the crap out of Sindy's full solaris/flak Assault Carrier. Why would you gimp your ships primary purpose so much?

Actualy, the cruiser solaris is HALF of that range, 725 or somewere around there if I remember right.


So, yeah, bombers have more than DOUBLE the range of cruisers solaris, and nearly double of a BS Solaris.

You want range ? You have to use slow rate of fire weapons, which even if you aim good are of limited use against a half decent pilot.

Possible Solutions:
1- Make SNAC same range as cruiser/BS Solaris
2- Make cruiser/BS Solaris the same range as their regular turrets.
3- Yell and scream about crying capwhores, wonder why pirates are never stopped ingame.

The solaris is over 1000 range. Have you ever fought one of those 12 solaris osirises? Without getting in range of the solaris, it's almost impossible to hit one.

On small battleships, Solaris turrets can be lethal. Do not underestimate them.

Not the way I remember it. <_<

I keep getting really off topic trying to write replies to this thread xD

I think we should remove anti-fighter weapons for battleships. They are worthless, and all they do is create confusion in the illusion of anti-fighter capabilities. If we clearly define the role of a Battleship as anti-capital, then maybe we can offer Cruisers better anti-fighter capabilities to offer them a choice between anti-capital or anti-fighter support, but it's important that they do not relieve Gunboats of their role.

No more capwhoring.


GO FIND A MAN SHIP!


Rawr...


I think they are fine, a Solaris Loadout can rape bombers with skill...

You've never met a Solaris Osiris with a decent pilot, have you? Thought so.
