They are supposed to.
Snubs kill snubs.
Gunboats kill gunboats and snubs.
Cruisers kill cruisers, gunboats and battleships.
Battleships kill everything. 8|
Yes, I've often seen caps insta'ing snubs. Too often. Anyhow, they are indeed hard to hit/kill, but when nerving something, then general things like removing nanobots completely from the mod. I'd support it. Don't like the idea behind it anything. How could they repair a completely wrecked/burning ship within 0,001 seconds? Even battleships?!
Just. Remove. Bots.
But that's another topic (to vote on).

You're forgetting bombers.

Intentionally.
They can kill everything when being flown by a skilled pilot.
And they suck in the hands of a untalented one.
This only goes for serious combat and not pirating transports or such.

Would prefer not to, since that will allow fighters with quite a bit of firepower (Karasu anyone?) and PvP ability to overtake a fleeing ship. It essentially will make the Light Fighters obsolete again as interceptors because the Heavy Fighters can fill that role then.

even a 10m/s increase in thruster speed for HF would make them the total dominant force in group fights.

Kudos to Karst for showing me this. Was saying how I wished the Marauder was just a tad bit faster... looks like my late birthday wish will come true?
RE: Heavy Fighter's Cruise Speed - Luke. - 06-07-2013
Give it to the small Heavy Fighters? Or is that not possible...
Generally it would be good though, 350 is a bit silly considering it's the same as huge transports etc.

(03-17-2013, 05:17 PM)Narcotic Wrote: Right now, you rarely see anyone flying Heavy Fighters, since they lack everything but a bit more agility. So I thought why not increasing their cruise speed to 375 m/s?
So we'd have:
VHF: 350 m/s
HF: 375 m/s
LF: 400 m/s
Overpowered? No. Reasonable? Yes.
To keep the discussion going, I'll drop another idea into here:
"Nerv Battleships to 300 m/s and Cruisers/BC to 325 m/s?" What do you say?
Yeah all sounds good. Cruiser and BS could be buffed to be more like fearsome warships actually worth 200 times as much as a fighter to compensate, maybe BS could even get a CD back.
EDIT: Oh wait, Aerts got a point, then the only point of LFs would be to catch HFs, hmmm. Maybe give LFs back their class 10 LF shields to compensate?
