Battleship problem

[X-Lancer]

An easy diagram for all to understand!

Battleship > Fighter

Battleship > Fighter x2

Battleship > Fighter x3 and 4 until you hit five then you should be able to win.

Battleship > Bomber

Battleship > (Hard fight) Bomber x2

Battleship < Bomber x3

Battleships need to be big bad MONSTERS it should take 3 cruisers not 3 fighters to bring it down. And it needs better anti fighter guns...

good diagram!!!
now..

is it Bomber=Sub in RL? more like yes in Discovery
is it fighter = Destroyer in RL? more like yes in Discovery

Well thats the only way they will be able to take you out, go in swarms. Would you rather have cap-ship whoring and have like 3 battleships and 2 Cruiser after you?

if is me..yes.. because the thing like this already happen today........and i don't care any more about that...only way can finish that problem.. find a base and dock.. and follow the 1 death rules. during PvP and dock at a base counte by 1 death,, and you are death people now, they can't attack you.......

WHO DELETE MY POST?!?

oh wait that was in the other topic

"*sits in the protection of my GB hoping it wont be nerfed and made weak*

okay come on, GBs are anti fighter, but i got attacked by 3 SA and they nearly killed me! If only my mom didnt call me off the comp, I wouldve died!and those SA were FIGHTERS!?! what kind of anti fighter is that!?! even the fuzzy thing in my avatar agrees that capships are too weak!?! or at least GBs. BSs should be slightly more powerful, cruisers should be able to destroy GBs, and swarms of GBs should be able to take a BS out, if the pilots are skilled. a BS should only be destrouctable by ether 6-7 fighters, 3-5 GBs, or 2-3 cruisers. just my opinion.

This discussion is bull****. Where ever you heard or saw that a bunch of fighters and bombers destroy a battleship?!? As someone just said, you would need 3 cruisers not 3 bombers to take a BS down. Well, btw, the capships need better anti-fighter weapons. Why is that... because in real world we can see that one damn shot from any kind of capship cuts the very best fighter to pieces. And one another thing which must be discussed. Let's take all SCIFI shows/movies we know. I am a Stargate Fan, both shows. Let's take Atlantis for a review for example. The human ship(Daedalus for the one who watch the show) cuts to shreds some hundreds of enemy fighters (wraith darts). Also, we see that if it remains without it's protective shield, it gets destroyed with 3-4 shots. Enough with Stargate. Let's take Star Trek. Their shield is named Hull Plating. In several episodes we can see that without it's hull plating, the sip get destroyed with a couple of shots.
Think about that.

Pff...

I remember the battle of Chugoku a few days ago. Damn, it was hard to hit ANYTHING in red lag, asteroids and a horde of NPCs ramming my Battlestar back and forth.


I agree, that capships NEED effective anti-fighter weapons. Specialized missle turrets, dealing little damage, but hitting about every time

It's utter nonsense for me, that something as big as a battlestar is geting owned by a bunch of flies. While originally it would literally obliterate anything stupid enough to get in weapons range It didn't have any shield, but it had a VERY thick armor. That armor could in the case of a more modern ship withstand 5 direct nuke hits. For weaponry, a battlestar could either fire accurate ship-to-ship missle (see episode "hero") or create a firewall of FLAK, setting up an impassable barrier for anything smaller. Be it a swarm of cylon raiders (typically about 300 per basestar) or nuclear missles launched by them. Speaking of which, I'd really love to see torpedos like on Starlancer, big, easy to shoot down, non-homing and hard-hitting. Naturally requiring ammmo.

Can't read 50 posts..

I voted to make the BS stronger, as it needs to be.

I also voted to give fighters a chance.. BUT, that means a chance in GROUPS. Responding to the first post; 3 fighters that are well-piloted SHOULD have a chance at taking that BS, especially if they have Novas.

Dab said it first.

I wish we could make Torpedoes. Unfortunately, probably not possible. Igiss? Is this engine being evil to us again (yes)?

Quick comment - we thought that Panzer was the Leader, Swift. -Agmen

Which Dreadnought was that?
