What would happen if...

the cost of a battleship was reduced by 30%?

Hello,

 

What do you think would happen if battleships were reduced in cost by approx 30%?

 

2000 cr, 250 m, 150 c

You'd see a whole lot more of them and the game's balance would be broken.  No need to build carriers anymore; people would just build the strikecraft carrier capital ship.

From what I see they aren't used at all online except the first free one.

 

And with capital ships you can only build a max of 16 after extensive research. If we saw a whole bunch more would that be a bad thing?

The most i ever seen people use is 3 capitals in a 3 hour game and in about 4-5 hours maybe 5+.

Making it cheaper would mean more capital ships earlyer but i would have to see it happen in person and test it to decide if it is bad or good.

Well, in general, capital ships are supposed to be rare, special ships.  Now, for online multiplayer Annatar has released a mod called Go Big or Go Home which is for capital ships only games.  However, since this game doesn't auto-download custom mods (not to mention custom maps) you need to take the effor to install the mod ahead of time and find other people who have the mod, thus it doesn't get played at all.

I'd still like to see Battleships used more often in Multiplayer. Whenever I play against someone who doesn't spam and uses battleships it makes it a lot more fun. I'm not sure why, maybe it's the dynamic nature of the battles, or that by killing a battleship can turn the tied in a battle.
