Gunboats are useless

[Syrus]

Eeeexcuse me?
Gunboats underpowered? I would dare to say it's even the other way around. They eat snubs easily with turretsteering and still have good performance against transports. For pirates there is nothing better, because you need at least two good bombers to take one out.

I think the shields need a nerf, actually I feel like they recieved another - very much unnecessary - buff. They come up very fast again and regenerated unbelievable fast. I can understand that they should be good against snubs, but at the moment they are even good "all-round", which is what other ships were not allowed to be (like a BS with usefull snub defense. Or a cruiser with snub defense).

So I ask, can the Devs please cut down the GBs shields? Or finally give the transports a buff in survivability - aka give them some more shield power. Sorry to say that, but at the moment the GB line is the most unblanced out of all.
