Adjust goliath power cell grid
Adjust goliath power cell grid to 60,which is just enough for a capital gun and a capital swarm,,so it won't make goliath too powerful.Pilots can decide whether to equip a capital gun and a capital swarm or a capital gun and other turrets and a large addon or other configurations.However,current situation for goliath is that it's too weak to either defend itself or pass missions.
Why don't you use a capital swarm, and two gauss guns? Or a capital swarm, and a couple of firecracker turrets? The goliath is almost op with a rail on the back. You should try it. Why the need for for a cap swarm AND a cap cannon?
-1, what We all float said
the need is for a caprail and a capswarm...that would be minimal
besides, this thread seems familiar...

Goliaths don't NEED both. Have you seen their stats? If not, check out their thrust and a turbo thrust and compare it to their mass. Trident's can not move like goliaths do. Tridents can't shoot capital rails straight backwards like goliaths can. The primary defense of a Goliath is how fast it gets up to speed. Combine that with a cap rail and two firecrackers, and you have an oversized, shielded, cargo runner.
Instead of asking for the goliath grid to be changed, perhaps you should be asking for a goliath Mk II that has zero large port and only two turrets. With a higher grid.

Replacing firecracker turrets with capital swarm wouldn't make goliath any better at self-defending,actually would weaken it.Goliath is indeed good at self-defending,but I am asking a capital swarm because goliath isn't any better when doing missions,or attacking bots effectively.A capital swarm can't threaten most players when goliath is self-defending,and in this case firecracker turrets would be better.I just want to make goliath better when botting.
You just need to learn how to use the Goliath effectively. Example: https://youtu.be/NaqyUbh5ZiA
I was sad when the Goli's grid was nerfed... but it definitely made it a bit more of a generalist, purpose-built/multi-mission, ship that sits midway between the top end trading vessels and the Trident.
Frankly I'd rather see something with low-end (bot resistant) shields and a couple of large ports and a single turret added between the XC and the Goli for high risk mining...
That and open up some of the (currently) NPC only turrets for ultra-high mining/combat license levels and trade/combat levels. Those are requirement pairings I'd like to see more of...

I am against the current suggestion.
I think the correct solution to these unfulfilled use cases would be More, Distinct, Capitol ships. Gunships, heavy frigates, maybe even some light cruisers. Heavy freighters, shielded cargo runners (which the Goliath is actually decent at now). Industrial scale mining rigs and the like.
What I'd really like to know is how hard it would be for the devs to scale up some fighters and slap some turrets and a docking bay on them for us to test out on the test server. As long as the permanent ship is similar in size, the temporary ships could be used for testing balance issues.

I like the cut of your jib, there, LNH.
The devs have been pretty clear that creating new ships is resource (time & effort) intensive. Especially since they are upping the bar on the quality of in-game assets.
Therefore, creating anything that requires a new model probably won't happen.
I like the idea of repurposing some existing ships and adding turrets or ports, and maybe changing some specs.
Some added variety would be nice.

Do you think I don't know the way you displayed in this video?Sometimes bots don't chase you,that's when goliath is useless,you need to turbo towards the target and get your back turret directing it so you can kill it with the cap rail gun.But this progress is such a waste of time so I ask for a cap swarm.

Thats when you undock and shoot them.
