As it is the Goliath is all round a better ship than the Trident
it's more nimble and accelerates faster

yes the Trident has better cargo

but it has bad turret placement and is a lot less nimble

I suggest that the Trident be given 2 large ports at the expence of a turret

so it should have top bottom and rear turret and 2 large ports

and the grid nerfed to 110 so you cant have 3 capswarms unless you go without lp guns

No. I mean, seriously, no. Some of us use all 4 turrets. You would weaken the the trident a lot if you did that. Right now the trident is the best player capital ship in the game. It has way better armor and way better shielding. And can equip three capital swarms, compared to the goliath's 1. What you are suggestion is a NERF for no reason.

Because the turret placement on a dent is less than ideal, 2 LP's would mean even less ways to shoot backwards.

A better suggestion would be this: release The Trident type S and the Trident type P. Both of those could have different changes more in line with what you suggest.

"Because the turret placement on a dent is less than ideal"

exactly I am suggesting giving the Trident a rear facing turret

exactly I am suggesting giving the Trident a rear facing turret

And you are asking for a turret to be removed. Which is insane.

I suggest that the Trident be given 2 large ports at the expence of a turret <--- This is what you said. this would weaken the trident a lot.

how so ? top bottom and rear turrets would be a lot more usefull than what you have now as would 2 large ports

unless you are refering to bot hacks where you can terget someone with all weapons at once more or less

As a person who fought ONE tridents. (not fun) I can say capital swarms are quite a good defense. This thinking is backwards. as we all float said " A better suggestion would be this: release The Trident type S and the Trident type P. Both of those could have different changes more in line with what you suggest." Pretty much along the lines of expanding the meta adding in more ships with clear trade offs and benefits and weaknesses. So on and so forth.

OK call it the type S but a Trident with 3 turrets (top bottom rear) and 2 large ports
would be better than what we have now IMHO

-1 The trident is better than a goli. tridents kill golis. I wouldn't mind a turret being moved to the rear, though.

so you dont want 2 large ports but you do want a rear turret ?

and how does a trident kill a goli (without bots)

Drevent, you use the built in enterturret command. Bind that command to 4 keys. Now you can quickly cycle through four turrets. Target your victim goli and fire cap swarms to your hearts content. Also a single mp on a capship can deshield a goli.

-1. Tridents already have a overwhelming advantage over Goliaths, like stupidly large gap in pure power.
