That is why im saying it should track Battleships only, to prevent Battleships from cruising on Light BS or Damaged Battleships. No more Cruise only pews

All I got say about this thread and your 'fantastic' idea.

Battleship has enough DPS to kill transport faster. Cruisers don't have such DPS and if transport has good enough armor and timing, it can just go straight through Cruiser to escape the piracy encounter with damage to hull.

There are occasions where cruiser piracy is acceptable. I.E: Piracy in orbit of a planet or station, since the trader will always try to quick dock whilst the trader is RPing.
"Move and you're dead. We mean it."
(trader twitches)
"Alright then, opening fire."
(Pulse, light mortar)
Is an acceptable solution.

BS-targeting only CD drone. how about it? Or cruise-ingibitor field module for BS only anti another BS (ye, like disa in eve).
I got what gentlemans want, make more tactical BS fights instead of heavy BS charges all the time.
It's unrealistic that planets don't have CDs. They are much larger than battleships (most of them) and supposedly have whole armies down there. And nuclear missiles, too.

Yes. Playing as a CDer is boring, frustrating and someone may eventually start yelling at you. If BSs were self-sufficient, I could jump on hostile snubs instead.
What is more 360 degree CD on GBs & Cruisers & BCs would be lovely.

Fly a bomber, do your job right, lob snac and novas.
If you're shooting caps with a VHF, you're doing it wrong.
