lets cut caps down to size

[Thurgret]

Capital ships are already rather too weak as it is. They are big targets and usually the first things to go down in a fight. No point in making them weaker.

Another mindbogglingly stupid post from Masternerdguy, will the idiocy ever end?

Seriously, stop making suggestions, nothing you've said has done anything but suck.

I suggest:

Battleships 50% bigger (seriously, a VHF crashes withing the dockign bay docking with an Osiris for example)
100% less turning rate (Seriously a Dread turns faster than a Adv train)
50% higher weapon range
100% more armor (one bomber could kill a battleship with current stats)
Keep bombers as they are, make SNAC weaker by 30%
20% more expensive
Armor Upgrades more expensive (if the first applies about 50%)
Weapons costs won't change anything
Battleship license cost won't change anything

That's how it should be

Armor Upgrades more expensive (if the first applies about 50%)

As if they're not too expensive already. Most of the time the armour upgrade costs more than the ship itself, where's the logic in that?

I didnt read the other pages but the first but my 2 cents are

Dont poke my cap! Ugh!

I RP with my cap and if it blows up any faster than it does now I'll
have no point to RP...its hard to just retreat with the darn thing to
begin with.

Not true, a BS takes TWO bombers to kill it.

Cruisers, and especily BCs, however, can be killed pretty fast by a lone bomber.

And to all the 'horrible idea' comments, while I agree..... as one of the big spammers here Id like to say this:

" Stop Posting, let thread die "


this'll be mah last post in this thread.

More of an RP platform? is THAT your excuse for them being so crappy? Really doc, That's pathetic.

Oh, Gee, Cam, I am so hurt!:wacko:This coming from a guy who parks his Jinkusu over West Point and declares a 5k no fire zone.

... You realise that would mean caps would have NO TURNING ABILITY AT ALL?:wacko:

Ah, this cap thing again.

I'm with you on the 'faction only' thing. Add to that special roleplay request, and that's where my own, strong, wish lies.

But... like everyone else in this thread already have pointed out, caps do not need to become weaker, if anything they need to become much stronger if any faction only/SRP requests ever become implemented, which I highly doubt will happen.

But, in the very unlikely case it does happen, some ship class inbetween our current capital ships and bombers need to be added for the plebs. Something for the folks that always forget to turn the ignition to their brains before entering the server. A poor man's cruiser (and similar lower classes of ships). A bit weaker than the houses' capital ships, but in groups (like these brainless lunatics like to roam) still posing a great threat to whoever crosses their paths. It'll be a bit like the Reavers in "Firefly"... only more scary.:crazy:

It won't ever happen though. But a man's got to dream.

So, for the tl;dr crowd - I liked the idea of faction only but also SRP request. I disliked the idea of making caps weaker, since they already are too weak.

Best way to fight is to have as many diffrent weapons as possible.
So a group of fighters, bombers, caps anti fighter, anti cap cap etc.

If this way of fighting aint the best way something is wrong with the balancing. But balancing is a everlasting job that will never be done.

So caps are fine as they are right?!
