I think liberty needs a heavy class battleship that can stand up to a turtle close range. Maybe having a heavy class battleship in adition to keeping the dread. I know the outcasts have 2 types, a dread and a Simply put "Battleship". Liberty should have the same and I think its time to rid of us that flying, sluggish brick they call the liberty carrier. I want to know what your ideas are. Post your thoughts.
Try flying a Turtle in a asteroid field and you will find it becomes easy prey to lighter capitals.
Rheinland has nothing cometitive in cruiser class. The LABC is stronger and even has 2 BS slots, the siegecruiser is very smal and very agile with one realy dangerouse maingun.
When you compare houseforces you have to compare everything, you may not picking out one candy and then demand you want one as good as that aswell.
Factions are meant to live with theyr special RP including theyr hardware. Thats what makes it a different challenge for a different Faction and thats what the Game should be.
While a "New Iowa" class would be entertaining to see a Heavy Battleship for LN, I still think that developer time needs to be addressed for other places before Liberty.
Liberty has everything a faction needs right now, a big bad enemy, massive playerbase, many active local factions.
If one gets built I won't complain though, but I'd rather see more time for say Bretonia and Kusari.
maybe a heavy battleship is too much i don't know...
But one thing is certain the carrier needs a redo. currenly it has an ugly shape and design and is not even a fair fight against a few bombers. by reviewers simply put usless.
