Summary0005896: Beam starships from fabricator re-balancing
DescriptionThis is a comparison between the beam-starship and its closest fleetship in the mark-III category, as it's internally ranked as a mark-III ship. Its bonuses are against Turret (8x) and Ultralight (6x).

Beam Starship
CapHealth 13500000
Armour 4000
MoveSpeed 48
CapMetalCrystalCost 570000
CapEnergyCost 18000
AttackRange 11000
CapDPS-Base 33600
CapDPS-Max(Turret) 268800
ShipCap 3

ZenithBeamFrigateIII
CapHealth 36036000
Armour 900
MoveSpeed 56
CapMetalCrystalCost 390000
CapEnergyCost 7800
AttackRange 9800
CapDPS-Base 213942
ShipCap 39

If we brought this in-line with the starships being more durable and less damaging philosophy:
 - the HP should be doubled or tripled (armour would make up some of the rest)
 - damage tripled (give them 3 beams just to be a little different?), removing the bonus types until further balancing.
 - As it stands, one starship is a about 2 beam-frigates-IIIs.........

I know Beam starships and Warbirds are somewhat of an orphan from earlier versions, but I really want these ships to be a cool addition to the fleet since it can't be unlocked normally.

Given that it looks like a Bentusi trade-vessel :P, would it be thematic to tweak this ship as a powerful multi-beam vessel?

Thank you for the reminder, this and the warbird definitely need rebalancing :)

For 5.027 the Beam Starship has been ambushed in an alley and forcibly upgraded, thanks for the reminder :)
