Now wait a minute here, i was not involved in no fight with a corsair dreadnaut or so said ship, i am just a observation on how their should be a balance in all factions and classes of ships (cap ship) or otherwise.
I have seen that some of the Major factions and some less major ones are getting the boot in this area due to some reason BUT i see know reason all major factions ( kasari, Rhindland,Bounty Hunter,an Bretonia)
should be able to build such ships like the corsair Dreadnaut or Liberty Carrier. I say if a faction has the resources to built one Battleship Lite or heavy class they should have a carrier based ship or like some has put it a Battleship MK II as a primary Flagship of his or her group.
There are light, medium and heavy battleships. There are differences between them, but there is balance as long as pilots know what to do.
Why would the Bounty Hunters make a new battleship? They have one which works perfectly fine for their purposes already - despite what you see in game, the Corsairs aren't the major enemy to the Guild Core - the Order and Nomads would be more frequently encountered. It's a shame Legates are used more on Bounty Hunters than Outcasts (Corsairs must be having some serious trouble in Eta due to this).
well, if the bh core is to survive in the border worlds it needs to develop more powerful battleship class ships aswell as rebuild its current fleet to withstand the ongoin war in the omnicrons and omega systems

Speaking hypothetically, I would say no.
Speaking as the CEO of AP Manufacturing, the exclusive builder of Bounty Hunter ships - which you would know if you read our RP and/or the tag at the Alabama Shipyard - I would say no.
Speaking as one of the BHG Guildmasters - I would again say no.
Actually, if you were able to participate in our regular contests against the Order - which is who we're SUPPOSED to fight - you'd find that a nice fleet of one battleship, one battlecruiser, one destroyer, 4 bombers, and 2 fighters - pretty well OWNS. For that matter - we've even had nice times where the only thing we've had are bombers - and there's nothing like going up against 3 big Order cap ships (and escorts) with 6 bombers - and again, OWNING the field of victory.
In other words - sure, I haven't seen you fly. But seriously, you're starting to sound like Cosmos. (Nothing personal, Cosmos. :)) The "I can't win with this ship so it must suck" kind of comment just doesn't cut it. Especially since the BHG|Core (presuming that such an organization actually exists) does quite well with our battleship.

I really must agree with Agmen here. Learn to fly it.
But better yet, try something smaller. Battleships are huge and rare sights, not something everyone and their mother-in-law has. I'd try a bomber. Much more effective at dodging and packs a huge punch for its size.
Also, I say this mainly because you have this thread, and the one about the Battlecruiser, which leads me to believe that you aren't much of a fighter pilot.
It's just as important to kill off the fighter escorts as it is to destroy the flagship.
A way a lone a last a loved a long the riverrun, past Eve and Adam's, from swerve of shore to bend of bay,
brings us by a commodius vicus of recirculation back to Howth Castle and Environs.
4 always fly in reverse with EK for as long as possible
5 try to keep distance (very hard to do, since all its weapons fire forward and reverse has a speed of 30. enemy caps will charge at you and eat you alive)
6 if the distance starts to shrink too much, hit the throttle and kite past (dioganally, not head on), creating a new distance between you and your target. repeat from step 1
ok one, I'M NOT BIASED second, their is more than steps in a fight WAYMORE, and three, either light medium or heavy a battleship has standerds it must meet b/4 it is called a true battleship. I'm not goin into details on that subject because some people might not understand whats i'm sayin. Anywho, the ship i'm workin on atm should be the step up from the lite BS.
