Why do most of the battleships have so few gun ports to them? From what I know most big battleships have a few large gun turrets (8 to 12 big guns), some times medium rage guns and a bunch of small gun turrets (16 to 20 ) AA guns. How about giving the larger battleships an armament that merits the class.

Did you read what the forum section was for?
ôShare your game-related features and ideas with the Developers and the rest of the community.ö
Your comment ôBecause this is eve online not US naval online ?ö is not very constructive. I was just posting my thoughts on the ship armament.

The reason for so few guns is a game limitation that is part of EVE. The maximum number of guns is set by the number of high slots which is set at 8. Also realize that the most number of main turrets on any battleship ever made was 5. Eve ships run 8 turrets, they just happen to mount a single gun more often then not. I can understand your concern but the limitation is based in the very bowels of the game. So you kinda have to deal with what yah got. Hope that helped.

Dev's have said meny times
8 Highs
8 Mids ,and
8 Low slots
is hardcoded into the game.
thay can change it but thay would have to rebalance everything about eve for this factor
for if i had say 20 high slots thay would have to lower the damage output of all weapons
or raise the HP of everything.
but i tell you what
I WOULD LOVE To have have my Maelstrom with 15 1400mm t2's
KA-POW!

I was just wondering about it thatÆs all. They seemed to have a very defined class system but the weapon mounts just seems skewed. I can understand that it would also produce lag. Although a battleship restricted to 4 large turrets and 12 or some smaller gun ports seems more battleship like.

you have to PURGE your understanding of 'battleships' and 'carriers' from real life when you play EVE.
There is no actual 1 for 1 mapping going on.
Battleships should really be called 'Battle destroyers'

the only problem with fitting mixxed weapons is combat will not play on both ground levels
its ether almost all close range or almost all long range
but my drones eat the stuff that gets to close.
guess maybe that filled that gap in with drones

I guess I was confused by the mix of real life ship classes in the game.
