' Wrote:To this day, there is one person I know who can use nukes effectively, and that would be razr. Everyone else, myself included, relies on either the minefield + CD or a few mines that are placed just before passing on a joust. So, its not as dangerous in battle as the old nova or 50k monster supernova mine of the old ages.
(Don't even make a comment about that Blunt:P)

' Wrote:I dont care much about the ship choice, really.
Weapons on the other hand... why mount debilitators when corsairs have rapier level 7 shield busters of their own? They may not be as good, but you DO have them, there isnt any reason to use someone else's guns.
Nuke mines can be tough to avoid, they shouldnt 1 shot fighters.
Ship choice is important, though. The Decurion's actually a VHF, and the Arwing is unfair to use because of the bugs.
Mines aren't all that tough to avoid (at least not in my experience, though I don't believe I've ever encounter someone extremely competent in mines who used them against me, so I may be somewhat biased). They do need to be dangerous, however, so a one-shot kill isn't all that bad.
As for the weapons, they are civilian. I don't see any reason not to use them. Until very, very recently, we had all been lead to believe that they were universal, and they are sold on Crete. While their sell location may not count for tons, when coupled with the other evidence, it seems to me that the Corsairs should be allowed to use them, at least until they get a Rapier Mk II.

Well, by that argument, every other faction should be allowed Colada del Cids until Class 10 shield-killers are available to everyone...

Still, they are civilian weapons. And the gap in the Corsair shieldbuster line is somewhat painful for light fighters.

True, but the lack of class 10 shieldbusters is painful for bombers. Much of a muchness.

Defilers?:P:P:PDont'cha wish ya could use 'em?;)
EDIT: And anyways, bombers could always just SUPERNOVA the enemy's shield.

Still a disadvantage, since you can't instakill and steal regens.

I'm suprised theres a problem with using it voted with the majority Civilian stuff should be available to anyone.
