someone may have posted this already, but from the limmited experience i have with border skirmish (watching videos) it seems like the whole thing is big ships going after each other. Wouldnt it be neat if the big ships spawned attack forces of 10 or so proms/ibgs/vultures/whatever to go attack the enemy, and stayed back for the very end to go and destroy the huge battle ship on the other side. it'd be neat if these small ships exhibited group behavior, and fell back to the main ship to repair if their health got down to a certain level. An AI dogfight in the middle of the battlefield between 5 cent/prom/vults on each side would be sooo much cooler to watch/participate in.

i think it would be cool if the cappies didnt go right up to eachother but shoot farther away. the fighters would go in to destroy the turrets and take out other fighters. also the cappy shields are too strong, hacs cant kill eachother anymore without help. also the super balls of death need to be weakened.

Hopefully, when the AI gets more refined, we'll see the HACs launch bomber wings to take out the other capships' shields, and the other ships launching interceptors, and so on and so forth...

Yea, we are all longing for framerate of 1 or, dare I say, 3?

I'm pretty sure my ubercomputer can manage 12!

But while I do think that better AI is really a must (hey a lonely vulture attacking a Teradon is kinda funny...) Wouldn't the falling back to repair make BS last too long? I guess you could make it 50-100 kills instead of 200.

Super balls of death don't need weakening... it's the HAC guns that need beefing.

I mean seriously, if you fly into one of those giant orange hurt balls, you deserve to die. Do you honestly expect to survive something like that in a fighter?

I do think the HACs need to have a fighter/bomber wing though... or at least always be accompanied by a significant escort.

"I guess you could make it 50-100 kills instead of 200."

No, just make cappie kills worth 20.

I agree with mr bean and Cunjo, the HACs need some longer range ship-to-ship cannons. I believe it would broaden the playing field.

right now border skirmish looks like this:

{ Fighters --- Cap ship --- Cap ship --- Fighters }

it would be better if it looked like this:

{Cap ship --- Fighters --- Fighters --- Cap ship }

just my opinion.

I think the devs are planning on replacing BS and BP altogether with something more...cool, once they get kourier up and fully functioning.
