Yes that sounds like a good idea. :)
I think giving the gunboat a torp launcher would be fun.
Wot is the point in the light mortar? It does less damage than the mortar but uses the same amount of energy! :crazy:
IMO it should be like this:
BS=Slow, Scary, Amazing shield, Loads hull, huge power output, heavy mortar
Cruiser=more nimble, good shield, alot of hull, high power output, mortar
Gunboat=nippy, light shield, ok hull, ok power output, light mortar, CM dropper
Please note the CM dropper on the gunboat as they are completely non-resistant to cruise disruptors which drives me insane.
EDIT: Dab the gunboats definitely were too maneuverable in 4.78.

Yeah... I'll need to head out to the places that sell this stuff and haul some back to Bretonia.
Shields - Jamez - 03-28-2006
lance have you got enuf cash for that?
Shields - Constantine - 03-28-2006
Well... the treasury is running low... 100mil left.
For a major faction treasury i think we should have a few billion ;)

It shouldn't really be nippy. But yes it should be a little bit mroe agile from what I have been hearing from alot of people.
Also it wouldn't have a torpedo slot but a torpedo turrets that doesn't cost ammo.
Shields - Jamez - 03-28-2006
Oh ok. But do you agree with me about the mortar idea?
Shields - Constantine - 03-28-2006
I agree with using a motar on it.
I'll give Gunboats a big test when the server comes back up.

^------ I said instead of a torpedo we would make a mortat type weapon that does less damage.
I think the modders have focused on making weaps for the BS and cruiser (mortars, inferno cannons, etc...) And have forgotten to make less powerful versions of those weaps for gunboats. Now the most effective weapon for a gunboat is the cerberus turrets which consume too much power.

I also find cerberus turrets impossible to aim

Me too... tired them on a Battlestar Advanced.
