By this, do you mean that you'd like to make the factory stuff a lot heavier, and cost more power? Already they use up more power, but not sure why they'd really need a mass increase, since again, they're only used for civilian/support roles.
Are you saying that you like the idea of excluding hardmounts from Industrial Capitals? I can't entirely understand. :p
I don't really get what you're going for, sorry. :/
Ah, the problem here is that since they have to dedicate their power and such to Capital Industrial systems, I doubt they'd be used as warships. I'm not so inclined to have a mass increase, mainly because the primary function of a Capital Industrial would be civilian and support, and thus would warrant more specialization into the industrial systems, rather trying to fit weaponry. Because of this, it'd need to be able to move at a relatively decent pace, to keep it's versatility.
Alright, will add that in.
Again, I can see this thing going into combat, but only for the sake of fleet support. Again, it's going to need to dedicate a lot of it's power and such towards the industrial/support systems, which would all excel without weaponry taking up that space/power. Thus, there's already an incentive to not have guns on them.

Turret wise i would say medium to light turrets should suffice for the fighters and other picket craft
Lol same here its very hard to keep up with this kind of threadI keep dropping in to check what's going on but there is so much to read, I just don't have the time to keep up to date with it haha
I'll have a skim through later tonight and get back to you on that

And I'm the one who started the damn thread. :p
The thing is, considering the fleets that the Capital Industrial will be supporting, I imagine that big battles with big ships are indeed going to be a thing. I'll keep Capital Turrets for Capital Industrials (They only get a 25% buff), so that those who can engineer their ship well enough could still be able to give their Capital Industrials significant defense against such big ships. Keep in mind that these will still be very limited, due to the amount of power/space that needs to be dedicated to the industrial systems.
I wouldn't recommend trying to get through the convoluted mess. :p
Ikr. I tried to bring back the guys who posted one thing and ran (Thus not contributing to discussion), but they seem to be keeping their idea of ignoring this.
The thing is, this spawned from the old idea of Capitals, which were literally just babby Motherships. Hence, the Motherships stuck as a part of the suggestion, especially since they're in the same category and such.
Neither could most people.
Ja
The thing with two threads, is that it starts to become more problematic/harder to read both. You're more likely to read one larger thread, then a couple of split up threads. It'd just make the discussion a bit more convoluted, and will add to confusion.
The problem here, is that most people have decided to leave the discussion. I'm really not sure why they left, but they seem to have. Hence, I don't think that a second thread will really help.
The thing is, all of the ideas that have been confirmed by the community have been put in.
Not even that. They seem to read class limiting, and assume that the whole suggestion is shit, and post about the fact that they don't like the class limiting.
