I agree with everything else you say, other than removing 5 gunners. It's not like they're overpowered.
Also buff Manta, and somehow try to make Marlin competent in its environment without being broken.
AND BUFF THE HAMMERHEAD AND SKIPJACK GOD THEY NEED A VHF SHIELD AND INCREASED CORE.
Don't remove because OP; but because they underperform in a meta where the first to deshield wins
They suck in duels absolutely, but they're competent enough in group fights.
Although in my experience Greyhound performs nicely in duels.

Do you dream about this every night, Lyth? When more Makos?
I do dream about buffs to Skipjack and Hammerhead every night. And when Wesker was a dev we got so close but then he quit. I feel like these two ships are the two snubs in the most dire need of buffs, as they're gimmicky and useless otherwise.

The Hammer/Skip are better duelers than the Manta/Marlin in any situation for the simple fact that they can actually turn. The only reason the Manta/Marlin do better in groupfights is because they have a powercore. If the Hammer and Skip would get even a 10k powercore (nevermind a 10k shield) the Manta and Marlin would become entirely obsolete.

It was a pun, Lyth.

This poll doesn't really work without an option to say I think neither class should be dominant over the other.
What I'd really like to see is a way of discouraging snubs from hugging caps, but that's a difficult problem to solve.
RE: [Poll] Caps & Snubs - Karlotta - 07-16-2019
My favorite ship class is VHF (not SHF, not bomber, not LF), and I think caps are currently overpowered.
Voted for neither "caps should be dominant" nor "snubs should be dominant", because I dont think one should really be more dominant over the other.
What I would really like to see is less rock-paper-scissor balancing and all class being made a bit more equal. What I mean with this is:
- Make Fighters a bit more effective against Caps by giving two CD slots instead of one so they can mount an amo-based torpedo (doesnt have to be as powerful as nova). Also increase fighter weapon range so they can hit large targets from farther away
- Make bombers more effective against fighters by increasing the gun projectile velocity a little (also makes their gun a bit more effective against smaller caps). That would have been much better than having a fighter-instakill weapon like snac back to what it was.
Caps should stay the dominant class, but not as dominant as they are now, by making snubs a bit more effective and versatile against all classes (including other snub classes).
I also think that there should be weapons for all classes that are only slightly better than cheaper alternatives but much more expensive, enough so that one only uses them on favorite characters and that money becomes a factor again.

I know, I just felt like it was equally a good opportunity to elaborate on my point

Snubs can't 1shot caps.
Caps can 1shot snubs.
It takes more snubs to kill a cap than caps to kill a snub.
1 snub can't bargain in a capfight, 1 cap can bargain into a snubfight.
Caps are dominant, neither class needs to be. Separate them entirely or remove the possibillty of caps 1shotting snubs and the game will be more enjoyable for everyone.
Alternatively remove turret zoom, which is 6 years overdue.
