dent
dent buff with 2 large ports.
currently a goli v goli can deshield each other with just a single mega positron, a dent v dent cant do the same hence i suggest a 2nd large port to the front.
given turrets comsume power i dont see this causing a massive imbalance considering the dent is slow and also the power drain on turrets, peoplemay say equipping 2 beams would beop but consider this, u would have only the useless neut mk2 turrets as defense.
it also means more interesting loadojts could be used on the front like duel plasma or a missile + mega posi.

I'm not sure the trident should be any stronger than it already is.
How about a weapon with dps enough to deshield a dent? With 50 grid on it. So in dent v dent, you can deshield using your large port, and actually still get to equip 3 capgauss or caprails on your turret slots.
-1 to any buff to capital ships. +1 to any suggestions that adds more capital ship weaponry. add depth to cappie vs cappie engagements.
What's the regen rate of dent shields? There's no stat for this on the wiki. Also, are the regen rates for NPC and player dents different?
Same thing I said before wait until new capitals are put in. If new capitals are put in it will be very likely changes will be made again. Not to infer I am against any changes but looking in reality. It makes sense to develop more turrets/new capital hulls first rather than constantly tweaking the 2 we can fly.
And things along the line of adding more fire power to a trident would detract from the fact that it's a hauler not a warship.
@Sid123. As far as I know NPC tridents do have stronger shields. So, it's not a stretch to say their regen rate is higher than a player trident.

Until new capships are released (whenever that is) it would be better to make a large port weapon specially for capships, to deshield capships.
Since the goli-deshielding weapon is megaposi with high rate of fire and medium (by capital-ship standards) damage, the dent-deshielder should be a weapon with insane damage but low rate of fire. I suggest, a "Plasma Exterminator".
50 grid, 0.4s delay, 80 energy, good auto-targetting, 220 m/s velocity and 7000(?) damage. I'm not sure what the damage stat should be. Depends on what the dent shield regen rate is. But the DPS of suggested weapon should be like 10% above the regen rate.

It's already pretty easy for a player trident to de-shield another player trident. The trident doesn't need to be made stronger, it's already the most powerful ship.

Great idea for 2 front turret ports, though this may be more applicable to Goli's rather than dents.
If an extra port was added to the front of the goliath she would be able to take on a dent easy, this change would also balance these two mighty vessels.
