I don't think it makes sense to have larger ships be *completely* defenseless against smaller ships. Even the largest, most specialized naval vessels have basic defenses against smaller threats.
At least make XL smart bomb modules or something for dreads and above. |

I don't fly caps nor do I really want to anytime soon, but one thing that irks me about the changes is the general lack of creativity. Many changes seem to effect all ships of the size/class the same and none really play into racial themes at all. The changes are "easy." Nerfing and changing the ships is fine, but at least try to find a proper role for them while you're at it.
Dreads have siege mode - this is good, and the idea ought to be carried over to other capital ships. Specialized modes that fit with the theme of the ship's class.
Carriers have triage - this is bad. This role really ought to be moved to a special class of capital logistics ships. On carriers I would actually require a Theater Defense Module, which must be active in order to assign fighters to ships off-grid. Else fighters would be limitted to the grid.
Titans ought to be the ultimate mobile command platform. They should be the critical center of a large fleet. More than a bridge and a giant cannon, give them the role of as a sort of super command ship. An area of effect bonus to allied ships that are on grid with them. Also I'd like to see Doomsday removed entirely and replaced with something more useful and tricky than "big gun go boom." What if the Leviathan could field a massively powerful ECM burst? Or the Avatar had a pulse to sap a fleet's capacitors 50%? Some sort of powerful effect that could, when used at the right time, change the tide of battle. |

Titans already do give racial boosts to their fleet.
Wow, that was quick! 
I totally overlooked that boost. Oh well, like I said, I don't fly them. |

Want to defend a carrier bring your sub cap fleet! If Carriers are intended to be logistics ships, why are they called "carriers"? They have fighters, not just drones
Thank you. I get so tired of reading this carrier = logistics ship garbage. Carriers are carriers. Carriers are meant to launch fighters that pew pew things. I don't think Triage should even be a function of carriers. It's an unnecessary, tacked-on feature that doesn't fit the role of the ship. |
