Your disagreement is with CCP then. We're not wrong to use their own classification in the context of a conversation about their game.
But that's just it: CCP has no consistent classification, which is why this debate keeps popping up.

We have four types of ships that are very obviously caps; we have a prerequisite size that is very obviously not capships, and then we have two (and a half) types that sit on the fence but which don't actually match the obvious capships in anything that matters.

A proper classification would place (Jump) Freighters and Indy Command ships as simply being L-sized ships with specialist roles that require capital components for those roles, same as blackops battleships.

Does The ship require the skill:

Skill Completely Trained Capital Ships (14x) SP: 3,584,000 Level 5 ?

If yes, it's very much a capital ship. If no, then why would anyone consider it a capital?

There are good ships,

And wood ships,

And ships that sail the sea

But the best ships are Spaceships

You can only doomsday capital ships

You can doomsday Freighters, Jump Freighters, and Rorquals

You cannot doomsday Orcas

1) Innocent question asked.
2) Derailed by the second post.
3) Massively derailed by the sixth post.
4) Complete off topic shitfest by the end of the first page.

And for those too lazy to read, the interesting bit: "(capital ships being Freighters, Jump Freighters, Carriers, Dreadnoughts, Capital Industrial Ships, Supercarriers and Titans)" - CCP Tallest 2011

Is more of a noob question why we dont have t2 ammo or guns or anything like that for capital ships or why T2 capital ships arent a thing what would happen if that was the case.


Cause Capital size guns blueprints under the concord management. So concord directors decided it's too early to invent into t2 technology of those.

Freighters, and jump freighters, aren't capitals. I suggest you look up the definition of 'capital ship' before asserting otherwise.


I checked the blueprints, looks like they are made exclusive from capital parts and nothing else. Sound like capital ships to me.
