Heavy Fighter's Cruise Speed

[Narcotic]

Given that the current poll says 26 - 2, I found it worth bumping this.

49 - 3 now.

Also, snubs are hard enough to hit already without giving them a bonus to survivability.

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.

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?

[Luke.]

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.

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?
