How about if you give the battleship a point-blank strategy?
Thats a good idea, it definatly gave much better results though with "point blank" strategy the battleship and the frigate seems to try to become "one" with each other So I tried it with "short weapons range" and it gave the same results but without the whole becoming "one" with each other thing. In the end the battleship beat the frigate and still had 1800+ shields left.

I still maintain there should be some tweaking on the balance here, even at optimal weapons range the battleship should outclass a frigate IMO.

Thanks though.

For better balance, you can try the Balance Mod. Stock just has too many niggling issues to be fixable piecemeal...

Before ANYONE even tries to twist this words meaning!

Niggling
[nig-ling]
–adjective
1. petty; trivial; inconsequential: to quibble about a niggling difference in terminology.
2. demanding too much care, attention, time, etc.: niggling chores about the house.

The problems with stock are far far more than just niggling.

I kind of thought posting the niggling definition was niggling!

Dry humor at work… Anyway I see why you posted that but I don’t think anyone would have read that as… you know how.

Sometimes I am truly amazed at how intelligent you are Fyron. Unfortunately it usually means you miss the more mundane low brow type things. In other words don’t ask, just accept that Atrocities was covering your sometimes rather crude posterior. Can I say posterior or would butt be better?

Hey, if people can't read, and start hallucinating words other than what was written, it is completely the reader's fault. Best to just leave well enough alone, and elbow anybody who misreads after the fact...
