Here's my problem with the Capella: it's big, slow, and you need f*cking Avalons to deshield it. Adding a ship like this would require the enlargement of WH sectors, which would add a little bit of risk to own this gargantuan ship; let's face it- how the literal f*ck could anything happen to this size a ship in these relatively short wormhole sectors? Sure, you can always gang on the pilot, and Avalon spam it, but is that conventional? And I don't think buffing Cap Swarms, Rails, or Cannons would work; we need another class ship to prey on these transports. The Capella NPCs we see already boast a wider armanent of weapons than transports should, so the only solution? Add a warship class to be manufactured along with the Capella. Allow players to choose the Capella, or, for example, the Heavy Assaults. Make it seem like the higher tiers of trade and combat capitol ships. That's my preaching for today. Thanks for your time.

You smoke to much...

We usually just use energy to deshield and kill it. Think outside of the avalon box.

Perhaps a large port power cell blaster, put that on a Goliath and I bet you could hold it down, even stay on it's rear to keep the broadside turrets from being able to bear. It would need to have VERY long range, 2km I think, and use a pretty pile of energy, maybe 90 EPS. Might be an easier solution for the devs then n small port option on the Trident M / Goliath .
