...Gunboat are fine, all people need to do is practice with them a bit more.

[snapback]40489[/snapback]

I have to disagree with this quite strongly, with regards to the Bretonian Gunboat (as I have not had chance to try the others yet). The forward guns on this ship are mostly useless, which is twice as annoying as on other gunboats because you basically lose 2 forward gun slots (since forward guns are still locked down - is this still necessary?).

Even with practice, these guns cannot be used effectively against anything smaller than a Battleship, because the gunboat is so big the shots are very widely spaced, and don't converge until they reach maximum range since they can only pivot about 5 degrees each. This means a Kusari Destroyer at roughly 600m side-on cannot be hit by both forward guns in the same salvo.

Plus, Destroyers aren't even a Gunboat's target, fighters are. It takes skill to hit another gunboat at combat distance, it takes a miracle to hit a fighter- and if you manage it in a Bretonian one, you only deal half the damage any other gunboat could dish out because the forward gun damage is halved between two guns. Argh!

What I propose is this: Gunboat forward guns be unlocked again, and/or the firing arc of Bretonian Gunboat forward guns be vastly improved to allow effective use against fighters.

this comment will probably get me a kicking (feel free), but I really dont like the bretonia capital ships gunboat/cruiser etc (excluding BS). they just dont look right when they fly, they are too wide and short, i have no idea what they should look like on the other hand just more regular, taking more clues from the BS. (this is also linked to the lay out of the weapons).

Two things, one trivial, and one, not-quite-so trivial.

First, two of the engines on the Zoner Juggernaut (the buggy juggy as I have come to call it. *inserts Virus' "Damn hit-boxes smily here"*), the two lower right small engines have no engine effects at all.

The other is that Solaris battleship turrets cost over FOUR MILLION credits. This seems quite expenses, as the 1.8 million credit Order MkII turrets are better. I think the price should be something around 2-2.4 million credits.

Did you factor in energy usage with that dab? :)

[Dab]

Yes, and the energy isn't all that off. Hence, the 700k or so price difference between the order turrets and Solaris. Solaris uses almost as much.

Bug: Red Hessian Sabres in Omega-47 drop 'pirate pilots', not 'Red Hessian Pilots'.

If the stars should appear one night in a thousand years, how would men believe and adore and preserve for many generations the remembrance of the city of God? - from 'Nightfall' by I. Asimov
The Outcasts consider Siniestre Nube a sacred place for several reasons. Early explorers discovered a jumphole within the depths of the cloud that leads to a strange world of ringed stars and strange craft. All ships in the burrial ground are placed facing that hole to honor the Alien Spirits. - An Outcast rumor

[Koolmo]

The planet Toledo Docking ring is labelled 'Omicron Minor Docking Ring', sorry if thats a repeat post, i think i read it somewhere else.

I can picture in my mind a world without war, a world without hate. And I can picture us attacking that world, because they'd never expect it.

WARNING: SPOILER AHEAD!

@Dab: All solaris turrets cost 4.8 mil.

The gunboat and cruiser ones cost the same as the BS version even though the BS turret does over 3x as much hull damage a shot.

The reason they cost that much is because they're still excellant at dropping shields and their refire rate is 8.33. Plus the solaris turrets do more damage per second then any other 'normal' turret, they're only beaten by Battle-razors and infernos.

Yes corsair turrets have the same refire but they have alot less damage then the solaris.

If any turrets need to have their price lowered then it's the gunboat and cruiser ones, not the BS one.

I know that at least 8 solaris BS turrets can strip the shield off and kill a cruiser before the cruiser can drop the BS's shield, therefore the price for solaris BS turrets is fine.

[Stingray]

Hi, I just got kicked out from the server (think some others got kicked too)
And I just transfered some money to my trader (had 350mil)
and when I rejoined I had 220mil left...and the guy I transfered from doesn't have
the money.

(This the right thread to post this kind of things?)
