Its quite simple rather. They can have as many cannons as a dreadnaught, dread level armor & shields, but are far faster & more manuverable than a dread with a much smaller hitbox.

So? They're more powerful than a dreadnaught in the areas that really count, and pack as much cannon power as an assault class dreadnaught. So give them rank & badge requirements equal to assault dreads.

Simple, neh? Then people who wish to fly them as combat vessles can do so, provided they have the gold combat, gold navigation & Fleet Admiral rank. Might wanna give them bronze privateer as well, just to give it more meaning than a fighter spamming station.

[Edit]Oh, and since this is something that could probably be done very quickly & easily without a major update (would it even require an update at all?) it could quite possibly be implimented without having to wait for a patch!

Get out of my thread goth. And if you are going to add your +1 crap, then at least read and COMPREHEND the entire post.

I said give it assault dread REQUIREMENTS.

READ, COMPREHEND, POST!

Yeah, but in the time it would take someone to get GA, gold combat & bronze privateer they might actually know better than to use it.

How big of a patch? Change one line of code here, one flag of gadgets there... Boom done, next question Alec!

Well, in the new patch, bombing will be harder so I assume that 1 month FAs will cease to be. Thus making the Rank boost rather feasable.

After the match it won't matter with the new modding.... I'm looking for a simple stopgap measure in the mean time ^.^

Sounds like a good plan in my opinion. Even though I havent been in the MV as of late (On the span of a few months ^^; ) It would seem like the best quick fix solution to the entire problem. Then once the REAL patch comes out, simple redo the ships back to theyre origional requirements etc.

I doubt that making them higher rank ships would solve anything, as there already is a certain GA with all the badges using said ship and is not liked for doing that.

If a patch was to be made for solving this problem alone, it should be a patch that either prevents switching lasers to cannons or removal of the ship for the time being.

No one needs a PD-boat in current patch anyway.

Oh and why not remove upgrading until next patch while you're at it, i belive standard level ships are far more balanced than in their upgraded state. mirvs wouldn't be so overpowered either(?) This could be done "as simply as" removing the yellow $-sign
