Gunboats balance - Telbasta - 07-31-2008
Quote:/It looks like i'll be switching to corsair GB again, as I'm only attacked by cruisers and such... do you think a loadout change might help?
Get rid of the gb infernos and razors, and replace them with cerberus turrets.
Say, a 2 solaris / 2 cerberus / 2 missile setup, or even 4 cerbs / 2 missiles. Gunboat infernos and razors are horribly inefficient, too much energy for too little damage. You get quite a bit more effect out of cerbs than you do the gunboat 'special' weapons.

4 Cerbs is to much for any gunboat. 2 max, I'd say.

yea, 4 will drain your power pretty quick, but if you're in a manuverable enough GB and you have a decent aim, you can keep the fire on the target without running yourself dry.
Personally, I use a kusari gunboat with two solaris / 2 missile turrets / 1 kusari forward gun, and I've been able to take out destroyer/cruiser class ships 1 on 1 - also never lost a fight to any fighter or bomber I've come across. The only real problem I have is taking down transport shields before they get away :P
