' Wrote:Even if you fix the hitbox, it's still a big target. Add in the powerplant that blows a fuse every time you pull the trigger, and it's weak shield, and it's not all that bad. It does have mad maneuverability, but some significant weaknesses to balance that out.
... just as every other HF....(Taiidan, Hammerhead, Centurion) who on the other hand have one less gun and turn much slower than it;)

I strongly recommend trading your Griffin for an Eagle. The Eagle was one of the best three vanilla ships. (The other two being the Titan and Saber) It's still formidable in Discovery.

Sure you can make all ships unhittable..... if you have time to set 5 hours for every fight.

Drat, you've learned my plan! I wanted to make all fighters invincible, but now you've caught me! Damn you, Mjolnir! *shakes fist angrily*
...
Or maybe, despite not playing a single Corsair, I'm actually suggesting improving the Centurion (reportedly, the Hammerhead's pretty good). The Crow doesn't seem much smaller than the Eagle (going by the docked view) - it doesn't have such large wings, which admittedly helps it considerably, but it's quite long and its wings are still rather big. An armor reduction could be in order, but the turning is one of the main draws of the ship - just like with the similarly-named CT series. I don't think it needs to turn into another flying brick...
Admittedly, it's not as big a target as the Fantastic Flying Dinner Plate, but I hope that's not your idea of a well-balanced ship...
