Gunships, a class of its own

[Equinox]

right.
Sloops for the win!
make it light, fast, with 3 or 4 gb turrets, but keep a strong power-supply, about 400, so that they can sling continually....so, a small boat with 3-4 crew (gb have about 8) a transport shield, bit below bomber agility, and a nice pirate vessel
something to challenge larger caps with its agility, or smaller ships with its firepower...reasonably balanced, I think.
equinox....do you use each class of ship?
I know I don't.
but, I would love to see more variety....and, would it be so horrible, to fight beside a ship like that?
looks fun to me.

So all the work that would be needed to do to change reference from gunboats to "sloop" is worthwhile when it wont be used hardly anyway? make it by all means but ill stick to a gunboat thanks!.


Just wanted to reply to Unit-sk855s post about he couldn't hit the hacker gunship whilst flying a gunboat, i fly a gunboat quite allot, its my fav class of ship bar the VHF, and every time ive come across a Hacker gunship in my lib gunboat and IMG gunboat and even the Corsair gunboat which turns like a brick compared to most Gunboats ive managed to keep the ship in view at all time and normally kill it very quick without much trouble whatsoever.

Tip: don't try to hit other gunships with your forward gun, there best used for cruisers and battleships, use your other faster firing weapons and you can take a Hacker gunship out very easily.

Also i think the poll says it all, give them 4 turrets but don't mess about with the shield and name/class.

But we need to remember when Cerbs are brought back to how they where 4 turrets are not going to do much damage.
