Get someone to fly a LF escort or something dumb and bad like a triple CD Waran if you want to be able to indiscriminately flop a battleschlong onto the table and CD everything that powerslides at you.

CD and different classes of thruster.
If done right, we would no longer have the chase and chaser meta anymore and battleship pvp might actually be fun and if we're lucky, not take 20 mins to 1 hour in a fight when both opponents are adaptable and skilled enough to experiment new techniques in the middle of combat.
we had many of these kinda fights in 2016 conn with me, thundy, wesker, simpleman and chills. maybe less wesker... he was just that guy i LOATHED back then.
And if we got rid of any sense of honor as thundy suggested skill levels of players could become cloudy as there would be more ganks and so egos would be less prevalent.
Apart from in conn... i have to admit that in my opinion this system lowered battleship activity in war systems and other places we used to chill.

If you fail to lane drop at the sight or name of a battleship and are incapable of even out running their prims i'd say you failed as a human being.

just rereading this thread, the fact you all are mad about this idea without considering how it could be implemented to make capital ship warfare actually entertaining without the sight of your name in the blue does annoy me as well.
it's like, oh, you ganked someone. good job! i bet neither of you had as much fun as you could be having if we reworked in CD's and cap ship thrusters.
Again. The state of battleship chased and chaser with some tactics like EK'ing on a smaller ship to get a guaranteed kill is like the lowest level of fun that could be had with battleship combat.
Don't mind me just digging this up after looking for game play related posts to make the game more fun for the masses and even potential future masses.
