Topic: Did you fly a line ship on SGO6??

*Keeping in mind I took about 40 seconds to do it

give or take about 19 fights after 2268 had line ships make up the whole of the victors side
And the vast majority of those were ISC (CCY/CAY/CLY)
Take out the ISC you'd probably have about 7 fights that had the victos side composed entirely of line ships
(counting CCH/CWLs as line)

This certainly points up the existing problem with line ships.  In my proposal, line ships fighting line ships would be a meaningful and desirable eventuality.

krcs is a good ship. Line ship. Fun ship.

Ya, sgo7 will have fleet rule whereby one ship in a 3 ship fleet will be a line ship and fast cruisers will be counted as capital ships for fleeting. No more stupid fights, lol. This way we might see some line fights. I dont want to take the fun out of flying cheese, u can, just not in fleets.

Why not fleet capital ships?  In the system I have proposed you could have "nutty" capital ship fleets and knock-down drag-out cap fleet vs cap fleet fights.  When these cap fleets run into line ships, the line ships could merely leave the hex if they wished with no penalty.  So the nutty cap ship fleet would get the DV shift but that's it.  The other side has to raise a nutty cap ship fleet to combat it.  Same as always fleeting rules or not.  Right now if someone is fleeting with metal, you pretty much have to bring the metal to oppose it.  Same difference.

ISC CC series is being considered a "heavy metal" BCH, and therefore not a line vessel.
