I can make a thread about how to nerf them, and therefore they definitely need to be nerfed?
but there was even a dev thread about it.
I can counter you and say : You can disagree that they are fine, but does that mean they are actually fine?

What I would like to see is a 90/225 for max/thruster speed.
I've been experimenting with something like this, but balanced out by a higher EK drag and much higher thrust drain so you can't maintain that speed (more like ~250m/s) and run away.
It might happen at some point in the future. Though not for all LFs, I suspect. I don't really think Liberators going 250 m/s will make for a better game.

why would you discredit all LFs just becasue of the liberator?
RE: Give Light Fighters Faster Cruise Charge? - t0l - 03-26-2017
because the liberator is pretty much the only light fighter anyone seriously uses

so that's one of the reasons why Light Fighters need some sort of buff.

After seeing how some awesome pilots are unhittable in VHFs, I must admit I'm scared of any LFs changes. I'm very happy to see they are not using LFs on me.
I was flying old LFs with 22nd and 57th wing and it was top fun. But no one was unhittable, back there in time. We didn't see LFs as something trollish and toxic. But, nowadays pilots are way more skilled.
In case you need LFs for racing, I'm sure devs could make one for that use.

If anyone wanna tell me that LF's are bad, I recommend to see the fight I had against 4 Corsair VHF's against my BPA) LF. (Dublin event)
I managed to kill 3 VHF's, so please, LF's are freaking strong xD
RE: Give Light Fighters Faster Cruise Charge? - Traxit - 03-26-2017
Let's put this very, very simply.
@nOmnomnOm You just suck at using them. Light Fighters are very powerful in experienced hands and would decimate some VHFs, even juggernaut two or three VHFs. There is no real need to buff them as they are good right now. Now stop making these useless threads about buffing LFs because you have no idea what you're talking about.
RE: Give Light Fighters Faster Cruise Charge? - Sombs - 03-26-2017
Yeah, Lambada-Lambda really was a good dancer at that fight. I do wonder if the Hussar is a special case because of its shape or if the other LFs are like that as well. From what I know, the Scimitar is easier to hit but a bit more tanky, especially with the regens. A list of the specifics of the LFs would be cool.
RE: Give Light Fighters Faster Cruise Charge? - Haste - 03-26-2017
The Hussar has traditionally been comparable to LFs like the Wyrm and Liberator, although those two were slightly more obscene at their peak. The Hussar may have been nerfed less than them, however, making it among the best LFs currently available.
It's small and fast. Small is good. Fast is good. Add the two together and you generally get something that straight up doesn't die unless it wants to.
