Thanks, I still haven't seen one. But I also don't hang out in CZ's. I should give it a try one of these days.
there's also a capital ship parked near earth. i saw it when i got my sol permit earlier this week. awesome looking ship 
Made note of one not far from Cubeo, it's on one of my many notepads at home.
I'll take a gander this evening and let you know
Ugh... I got bad memories of my first Capital ship...
"Massive frameshift surge detected!"

*BRRRRRRRRRR!!!!*
"AAAAAAAAHHHHH-"

Cap' ships are over-rated.
The flag of the navies should be flown by a Sidewinder, b0ss.

They are marked as "Top Secret" in the Lure..
I can catergorise them as "lots" and "hello rebuy screen".
I saw my first Farragut in battle last night. Jumped into a high intensity CZ. I think it had around 12-20 beam lasers, and probably a similar number of multi-cannon type things. It just shredded anything that got close to it. But, it also takes all your combat bonds as mentioned above!
I pretty much crapped myself when I first saw one jump in. Thankfully the noise it made masked my own. Likewise with the cloud it produced.
Their firepower does sit in a weird middle ground. Dangerous to be focused by yes, but they don't hold a candle next to the threat of station guns which does seem wierd. They're strong enough to shred weakling npc's in seconds and 'steal' your bonds, but at the same time not particularly threatening to your typical amped up cmdr vessel. In fairness it's a difficult balancing act and fdev could have got it much wrongerer.
edit, here's a thought, it'd be nice especially for when two drop into a cz, if instead of being covered in anti-regular-ship guns and just kinda sitting there, they fired whopping piles of slag at each other / nearest thing they're focusing on, vaporising anything that gets in the way. But hey they are what they are and they're still pretty cool imo.

I experienced one also got so excited I shot at it.......big mistake. "Doh"!
If anybody wants to see one just go to the community goal in Neits. There are capital ships in every high intensity conflict zone. I almost chased off a empire interdicter; destroyed all but 3 of its heat dissipation modules and left it with only 4 operational guns
