You forgot the old Gigas...it may be used and is similar to the Gargant(that is similar to the Sathanas).

The old Gigas has a lack of maps. I think giving it a few more textures here and there could actually make it a spiffy ship, noh? And giving it more than just one forward gun, too.

BTW, the ****at-Thor is just an oversized Aten with a Sobek head grafted on. It's crap and don't go hunting for it.

Plus, it really pissed off the Norse god of Thunder.

How is everyone overcoming the fact that a capship can only have so many turrets, meaning that the larger it gets, the more dispersed the turrets become, and the larger the blindspots are?  The SWC was having trouble just with a 14.7km SSD.  As they say, 'a small one man fighter should be able to penetrate the outer defense' of anything so sparsely protected.

Bigger FOVs and more effective weapons, like Flak or Beams in place of laser turrets.  That, and just bulking up the hitpoints :D
