There seems to be some massive, vitriolic, almost prepubescent hate for the Jovian. Only one ship can ever be used in an entire fleet, it can only be used by Bakka, and yet people still absolutely HATE it. Okay, it’s gone, but what gives? Really?
Just for the record: I don't have any problems with the Jovian. I don't think its overpowered or "theme breaking". Asuming that every regular IN fleet would have at least a Emperor and a Mars or dictator (for a total of 12 AC), a Jovian/Mars in a Bakka list will still have less AC. And at all the Jovian is a good bit overpriced, so I really don't see the problem.
I won't remove it: it''s a nice ship with a nice background and you did the work already. If people think that they'll see it in every list, simply make it more expensive. Say 280 Points. This way it is less attractive and if you desperatly want it, be it for style reasons or to add some more ACs, then you have to pay...and, 20 points isn't such a big deal..
Which equals to a total of 16 LB's in a 1500 pt fleet (360x4+50 pt fleet commander=1490)! That could be a problem
Can't really imagine that anyone plays that... and compared to a "hangar-maximised" Solar or Gothic fleet it is still less: a Gotic list can have up to 4 Dictators and 2 Mars in 1500 Points for a total of 24 AC - so a Bakka fleet is at 2/3...seem fine..
Number of BCs/BBs
OK, BCs 1:1 and BBs on the regular 3:1 rate seems fine, to me, but the problem why I wanted to lower limits on BBs stays: The Vanquisher is so underperforming that I can't see anybody using a "slot" for it.
So another suggestion: what do you think about allowing one (1) Vanquisher per full xxxx Points (maybe 1500) to be taken without the usual restrictions?
+1 turrets
I suggest 15 or 20 Points per Escort Squadron - it encourages player to take larger Squadrons, what is IMO a good thing.
Cruisers should pay 5 points, and BBs 10 Points.
Simply because 2 or three turrets isn't such a great improvment, but the step from 4 to 5 turrets is...
