Gunboat Balance

[GlyphStorm]

The gunboats have the agility they should have, imo (enough to counter fighters/bombers). The only thing is that their weapons are too effective/energy efficient, that's what makes a GB a Cap ship Killer, I think. A simple solution would be:

- reduce their damage or re-fire rate (3.03) and lower the energy recharge rate

- increase their energy requirement (this should do it better imo)


I hope the GB problem will disappear soon, tho.

Quick Edit tho: I was having fun killing SA Capships (cruisers/battlecruisers) with my GB ([N]-Ganohalidohi), and I had 2 Cerberus turrets, which would drain all my GB energy from full to 0 in ~40 secs or so. But now, I can fire the 2 cerberus, and I still have a small amount of regen. Now, it's too easy for me to kill a Cruiser (managed to do that without using batts or bots).
