Tain its commen sense. If it has a bigger power core, its going to have more power than a fighter. Or it would use the same power core as a fighter! God your just argueing for the sake of argueing now.

Hello no.
Where is the reality on ships which flies like airplanes, and planets that dont orbit, let alone the distances, etc...
But that does not implies that we can make a BS with the firepower of a fighter. We should make it the closest to the "reality" we can.

Korrd the first picture reminds me of the star wars trench run. :)
Now on topic: As most of you have seen alot of BS turrets are about the size of the fighters so should that imply that they can blast a fighter in a few shots if not in one.

He flies through half the system before going back to New Berlin, where he cruises from one side of the system to the other, hugging the sun as close as he can. All the while, he flies near Battleships trying to scrape me off. I finally send out the white flag, and move back to Sigma 13. However, it was a ruse, and he bit. Knowing his trade route, I interdicted the trade lane and the chase began anew. It ended, an hour after it began, with me retreating, out of Countermeasures and getting very irritated.
He kept boasting how he has never been caught; I'd like to see him beat until he begs to pay, then beaten some more.
i feel that yes a battleship turret should take 2 to 8 direct shots to take down a fighter, however thier aim, fire speeds (time between mouse click and fire) and refire rates should be slower, because no matter how much bigger the core is it will take longer to safely chanel that energy to the weapons.
something else i would like to see is that battle ships could not fire all turrets at once and fire more like the NPC do now

Whoah whoah, that sounds very much like overkill to me. If Battleships were that powerful then no-one would use anything else. 2 direct hits to kill a low class light fighter, no question. But top of the range fighters like all the cl10 wep users and even bombers shouldn't go down that fast.
Anyways, this thread is veering waaaaay off-topic. Swarm missile opinions in an ideal PvP environment please.
And sorry if I shot anybody's points down in this thread (Dab), as you may be able to tell I'm quite biased on the subject matter :0)

Ooops :D
Anyhow why not have them that powerful?
As for everyone using them, I don't think so because as soon as someone tries going through an asteroid field they'll wish they hadn't bought one.
ON-TOPIC
If you want to use swarms on me, then fine.
But please ask first, otherwise if I start getting lag I'll be running. Where as if you asked first then it's my own fault for agreeing.
