You want a capitol ship?
You know what they say about people who buy big ships?
They're compensating for something that's not.

Is that a pocket of volatile gas?
No, that's a jumphole...

IMHO the use of capital ships is useless and can ruin the game is kinda cheating (for me) and the gane is made up for use fighters only i like fighter dogfights instead to use cap ship

If it's well balanced, it's not cheating. The problem is finding one that's well balanced.

For example, the gunboat mod I'm currently experamenting with- although it has lots of firepower and lots of shielding, it flies like a brick building, the main gun can't swivel, it can't use a thruster, or carry cargo, the class was limited to 7/8 for the turrets and 10 for the single foreward gun, and it can't dock with many of the smaller asteroid bases, because their ports are simply too small to get back out of. Fighters can quickly swarm and destroy it-I accidentally shot a station in New Berlin and barely made it out from that small section of the system alive(whereas a fighter could have thrusted, engine killed, and simply glided away).

Balance is key. Most mods are designed around the "I-wanna-kill-everything" concept, which means nearly impenetrable shields, wads of class 10 weapons, and rediculous speed. When you find a nicely balanced one, it can be a real pleasure to use.

You're not just beating the dead horse, you're cutting down trees to do it with!

I don't like to fly cap ships.

I like to blow them up.
Especially the Rhinelanders

He'd better be in any expansion/sequels.

Anyway, a cool battleship would be a fast one without weapons, and you could swing your ship around to hit people! It would be hilarious!

The last word is mine. Always.
