Fighters should be fun...

[mjolnir]

I'm all for it ...my almost daily fights with Spear always last over an hour... before he gives up :P
Usually in about all my fights it's very soon decided who will win/loose (not so many people can change their tactics completely) after that it's just a question of time/patience.... especialy against bombers.


But the only solution I see as easy to implement/balance is the one that Yngen suggested

Reduce bats/bots on fighters

to half what they are now.

- once you take armor away (or decrease it) you'll have to rebalance quite a lot of weapons.

- once you start to mess with individual weapons balance... it will mess up balance of all ship classes and weapons in the game... and also destroy variety (if as chopper sugested you change just some weapons)


When reducing bat/bots the fighter/bomber vs caps balance will also be changed... mostly in fighter/bomber vs gunboat fights.... so it will require quite a big testing/balancing effort.... otherwise gunboats will be even more spammed than now.


EDIT: First now I fully got what chopper meant.... problem is that those "slow" weapons can always be used against other fighters....*points at his Mini Razor*
