I've seen how Battleships are in its testing state in movecraft and for what I know its been like that for quite some time. Battleships back in the time were The center of any fleet from pre dreadnaught times to even early 2000's They were the largest warship to server (not talking about carriers) and I feel having them in the nations server can provide more of a unique play style in nations. With going with with the nations to help protect the servers ram to stop people spamming battleships, what if only 1 battleship can be used in the nation per nation?
I say this because battleships are massive and need to hold some form of capital like power, having one per nation makes them more a higher risk higher reward to any fight but not overall turn the tides, cause in reality 2 max dreads can equal to 1 max battleship and no matter what in cc.net being outnumbered is typically a loss. so it would require more team work / strategy with using them.
In all honestly with my name I like ships, its my thing and I feel were missing out on some big things.
With how battleships can go they can only enter siege regions that dreads are allowed in.
