Re: Flamberge
Heavy fighters and light fighters fight. Freighters haul loads of crap. But what does a capital ship do? Capitalize? Capture? Capsize?
Capital ship doesn't actually mean anything.

Capital ship doesn't actually mean anything. "The capital ships of a navy are its most important warships; they generally possess the heaviest firepower and armor and are traditionally much larger than other naval vessels. A capital ship is generally a leading or a primary ship in a naval fleet. There is usually no formal criterion for the classification, but it is a useful concept in naval strategy; for example, it permits comparisons between relative naval strengths in a theatre of operations without the need for considering specific details of tonnage or gun diameters. A notable example of this is the Mahanian doctrine, which was applied in the planning of the defence of Singapore in World War II, where the Royal Navy had to decide the allocation of their battleships and battlecruisers between the Atlantic and Pacific theatres. The Mahanian doctrine was also applied by the Imperial Japanese Navy, leading to their pre-emptive move to attack Pearl Harbor and the battleships of the U.S. Pacific Fleet.[1] The United States Navy, on the other hand, deployed its battleships and aircraft carriers in the Pacific. Although the United States and the United Kingdom agreed upon a Germany-first grand strategy, Germany's surface fleet was small, and the escort ships used in the Second Battle of the Atlantic were mostly destroyers and destroyer escorts to counter the U-boat threat; only a few German capital ships, such as the Admiral Graf Spee, Scharnhorst and Bismarck were engaged by Allied ships." Thank you wikipedia.

Re: Flamberge
TL;DR: Capships are the things you grab when you need to cause a LOT of pain to a VERY big target.

Re: Flamberge
When I first joined SS, I thought the Fleet Classes were gonna be the tanks (Common sense, I mean they are huge, and huge is tank). When I found out it was Zerks that tank.... dafuck? o.0?

Re: Flamberge
FC can easily be setup for tanking. But FC doesn't have aggro control which Zerk has.
