While the anti-capital capabilities of gunboats are decent (put Razors and Pulse turrets and you'll have a decent killing machine against other gunboats and cruisers), the anti-fighter capabilites are rather sad. Missiles are ok for now, but the faction gunboat weapons are a piece of junk if you ask me (especially the BHG version). Buff the damage and range of them a bit and I think they'll be ok.

Yeah, that was one of the toughest fights ive ever fought in my bomber.
Missiles are dishonourable! *looks at zapps post* erm...
Edit: BHG GB turrets are lovely! No change needed!

BRs take too long to kill transports.

No. No. And No. I have a rogue gunboat with 4 LRGB turrets and 2 Razors. It has yet to fail me. The way I look at the main guns of a gunboat is that they're for shield busting on bombers and fighter harassment, and for keeping the shields from regening when fighting other gunboats (Though if your primary target is fighters when there are bombers/other gunboats around in a large scale battle, yer doin' it wrong) I always use my razors as actual damage dealers. Gunboats should not be any sort of "endgame" against fighters, as missiles are harassment enough as it is.

I know a guy in an imperetor with 5 BRs, i feel sorry for his powerplant.
Edit: Tycho, its my 'anti fighter' orca that you have killed like 5 times now, though doing things like beating zapps phantom (dont mean to sound gloating here), and hordes of VR sabres makes up for it (or here).

I fought an Imperator with that sort of set up while I was running with two pulses and three razors. Due to his BR set up, he was able to land more BRs at stranger angles than I could manage and wore me down. So he wasn't firing all at once, just three or something at a time, but with more opportunities to do so than I had with my Molly. Quite clever, really.

Yes, because my Sabre you chased around with such tenacity for an hour is a "Horde". Right.
Let's end this now, because somebody will come along and lock it rendering this entire thread a waste of time. If you want to complain, do it on Skype or via PMs.

No, i mean the one that showed up after you fled (though i didnt really beat it, i caused some hurt to some ships).
Ok ok ok ok ok, can we get back on topic now?
I'll start, GB BRs need a dammage buff, they do so little dammage its actually painful.
