Even with the frigate focus and accumulation
of around 17m skill points Starwalker was still unable to fly either stealth
bombers or interceptors. It seemed that a good next step would be to decide on
what ship would be flown next - interceptors or something bigger like battle
cruisers.
If Starwalker wanted to fly battle cruisers
then a number of additional skills would need to be trained to a much higher
level, including things like drones. Of course, considering any training need beyond
ability to fly should also be balanced with the main reason that Starwalker
lost ships – pilot error.
The final factor to consider was that flying
battle cruisers would also increase the cost of any loss. However, given the
proliferation of battle cruiser and similar sized vessels then it would also
increase the potential for getting into fights.
Starwalker spent a lot of time in space
looking for fights, for example, the most recent roam had started in Heild,
went to Ennur up to Gusandall and finally on to Uemon. No fights but not for
lack of looking, perhaps a battle cruiser would increase the
chances for a fight at the cost of more expensive losses.
I think battlecruisers are the better way to go as opposed to another class of frigates. As fun as frigates are, as you pointed out there are just more battlecruises being flown around.
