The Corsev is the new Capital Ship Battlecruiser, for those that don't know what a Battlecruiser is a Battlecruiser is a class of Capital ship that is meant to support its fleet in some way. This can be indirect to the fleet(For example, the Akkan colonizes which in turns gives economy, which allows you to build a fleet.) or direct(For Example, The Dunovs Shield Recharge which recharges shields). or offensive support(Something that effects the enemies through damage and utility such as EMP charge.). The Corsev is strange as for a support ship it is rather greedy and alot of its support skills are not that good. For example, Salvage Operation only heals the Corsev and provides no support for the rest of the fleet. But first lets talk about what is positive about the Corsev.
- It tanky, very tanky it has high base hull and shields. Salvage operations contributes this.
- It can take out corvettes very well due to demolitions team.
Thats pretty much it, the best features of the Corsev are the exact opposite of what a support ship should actually be.
- Boarding Party: While I don't think this is a bad idea for an ability it is in some situations to hard to micro. Getting a ship is a pain in the ass. And it kind of falls off in the late game as again it is to hard to micro and as a support ability it is very lack luster.
- Demolitions Team: A good ability, but it provides no utility at all for the fleet. It just kills stuff. Again its not a bad ability but it kind of counter productive to what a support should be. EMP Charge does damage(But to be fair not as much) and it also removes antimatter(even from titans).
- Salvage Operation: As stated before a good ability but its just not a support ability.
- Elite Crew: Actually a good ability for supporting your fleet but unfortunately its boring. A single target improvement to various stats on a friendly capital ship. Good ability, boring and uninspired.
Theres actually alot that could be improved.
Boarding party on destruction through any source as long as its boarded is taken over, also be able to board your own ships and have it heal your ships instead currently the only way to have synergy between demo. team is from if you take over an enemies ship. Demolition team, just give it some utility a knockback or something. Just these two changes would make the corsev easily a great capital ship and require no need to change salvage operation. And my opinion is make elite crew more interesting.
Please do something about it.
