My guess people think bigger is better but its actaully about the how to use it proper ;-) Its not about you or rediii or me its about that people think I play this way all other have to play my way so "I" can have the maximum amount of fun.
As admin stated if ram would have fought the 3 princes in his buc the result would have differ. So you want to give everyone a "I win button" because he has a bigger ship that is worth more gold, mats or whatever? And the situation is actually more of an issue while its a lose against david while beeing goliat? Why i always see people asking for realism when it suits them but pls let it be unrealistic if not.
BR only is a number showing what the ship is capable in AI hands. BR doesnt show the human factor. Or why do our elite players keep posting 5 vs 15 screens that they won outnumbered and with far less BR? Should they lose instant because they have less BR because that would be the conclusion of your post. But i doubt that this would suit you.
