It's just hard to target ships accurately with a superlaser... Although you can do it if the target ship is big enough and the range is great enough to negate maneuvering.
Superlasers have always had planets as their main target. Lower power ones are good for bypassing planetary shields, higher power ones are good for simply obliterating pesky rebel planets.
I suppose you could have an "all eggs in one basket" weapon, just a single massive turret on your ship or something, but chances are that will get disabled before you can fire a second shot...

no you see my weapon is specifically designed to target capships, not planets, it would be infact useless for that purpose, its sole real purpose is to fend off an attacking navy, being able to demoralize them by destroying their lead vessel in a single shot. think dark reign or the real Borodin from Starlancer, thats where the idea is from.
my big MFing ship was originally a superweapon platform dreadnaught but i was advised against that so i changed it and made a superweapon platform/defense station.
and a whole bunch of solar cutting lasers for slicing up unshielded ships, of course these things would fall on a single well placed hit.
think
Orbital Solar Energy Transmission Station
Renamed
Orbital Solar Energy Weapon Station
it slices like butter.
are all the ships in this game with appropriate weapons set up to be able to BDZ?

No. Think of something else.

No. You fight capital ships like everyone else. This cheesy shit is ridculous. Unless you want me applying this sort of mentality to ships with more than twice the investment of your precious superweapon, which happen to be ships of the line?

It's best not to use Uber-wank weapons. We've all seen how they generally screw you over, thanks to Lazerus in STGOD4. Try just a big ship with plenty of large capital guns.
and yet you saw the Triumph thirdfain? talk about selective permeability in the eyes. i get that way too, obviously. seriously though its probably becuase i called it the D7Y398 weapon or some such thing...

This persecution complex is going to make people actually start kicking your ass in the hopes you go away. Stop this 'THE BIG BAD PLAYERS HATE ME' bullshit. It is infuriating to listen to.

Make it escorts. That would be funny.
Hey, I have weapons that can own light escorts, I call them capital batteries!

Hey, maybe I don't read every OOB to come into the game completely the second it shows up?

Eat shit and die. Your attitude is that of a fucking thirteen year old, and I deal with imbecile's of that mental age enough in the real world. Grow five years, then come back.
