'experience' ... this simple word is all between a devastating BS usage. They are now (CF 2.0) deadly enough for NPCs killing as also players in fighters. This ofc not works in all cases, but even very top pvpers need solid amount of time to get BS (included dreadnoughts) down. 'Cooperation' ... BSs are not meant to be used solo, theirs true power will reveal when used other players support (escort, repair services = repair ship).

It looks to me @Chron1c like a trolling attempt, bcs it seems obvious that you not have any real experience with BS/DN in CF 2.0 mod. ... Strong shield, terrible amount of hull (which can be easily doubled), different turrets (most of them have significantly longer fire distance as all you can put on vhf) with devastating damage and/or short fire-rate and torps ... there is absolutelly no reason to make them ev…
