So, I've been trying out the capital ship, and found it to be... well. Not sure what role its supposed to fill. Two large ballistic slots and its other armaments don't feel like enough for a 19 FP ship. At the same time, the faction has a ton of different fighters, and its only carriers are very expensive to deploy for that role, without swapping into another factions ships.
An increase of 3 or 4 FP on the capital ship, plus 2 Flight Decks would go really far in making the ship have a specific role (close support carrier, like the other carriers!). Just my 2 cents. Maybe with the new guns, it'll be a more combat-orientated ship! Or if there was a third large slot
Other than that, I absolutely love Blackrock Drive Yards. The ships are gorgeous, the systems are fun and engaging, and the weapons feel like they have a real impact. Did I mention they're gorgeous and fun? I've been using BDY ships exclusively in my playthrough, but I had to start using a Conquest to give the fleet some capital ship firepower.
