Nomad Gunship - TLI-Inferno - 12-28-2018
The Nomad Gunship could use a buff. It's been nerfed from a gunship into an SHF, with SHF-like stats, but is still gunship-sized.
At first glance, its 8 guns might seem like a lot of firepower, but SHF's typically have forward-firing turrets that provide 8 forward-firing guns already. It could use a 9th gun; a ship its size needs superior firepower.
Additionally, it currently has the 39130/2350 Power core that is typical of SHFs. As such a large ship, it should have the 47000/2350 power core of a heavy bomber, the heaviest of which are still smaller than the Nomad Gunship. Additionally, it should be given an additional shared disruptor/fightertorp slot, freeing up its other slot to be used as a bomber torpedo.
Its shield should be upgraded to a Transport Shield to accommodate for its size. It would only utilize the small one, as the power drain of the larger shields would take quite a toll on its power core.
Additionally, as a "Gunship", it would be neat to see it utilize nomad fighter turrets, which could be created for this ship. It could have all of its guns stripped away, and replaced with a set of 7 or 8 turrets, and be given the ability to turretsteer.
I came to the conclusion that it needed a buff, when a yesterday a K'hara player flying one came across my wounded, low-on-regen mining Rhino, with 4 mining lasers equipped, and still almost died to me.

The anzu doesnt need a 9th gun.
What it needs is for the model to be scaled down to the same size as an osprey or spatial, and a second torpedo/disruptor hardpoint added.

That would be a simple solution, yeah; turn it into a typical SHF.
But, I figured it would be interesting to actually preserve its "Gunship" role, as something slightly heavier than a SHF.

I would rather move the SHF grouping as a whole to be more of a Gunship class.
Quite a few ways to do so too.

IMO the SHFs are fine the way they are. I agree that the Anzu or whatever its called should be scaled down to the size of other SHFs to give it a fair fighting chance, or that it stats be improved to match its current size.
RE: Nomad Gunship - Lucas - 12-28-2018
I think Anzu is a perfect SHF, but compared to the other SHF in the game its just pure trash. It does not have 2 CD's, its like twice as big and much slower, and the few HP more it has don't help that out in any way.
