Fighters should be fun...

[mjolnir]

I was writing a long post about my thoug here yesterday... but it got deleted before send because of this crappy notebook.. .and I don't have power to write everything again... so I will be short:)

------------------------------------------

Alas ur thinking too narrnw. That weapon would help in duels. We need high refire to solve issue of stopping bombers and fighters targeting others. We need gatlings and chainguns not snipers.

You are wrong here... my 2.00 refire Wrath is the best thing for stopping bombers......both in 1on1 and defending a capship.
------------------------------------------

Increasing weapons speed... .would not help...even duels between good aimers last long.... this will just get everyone to that level

-----------------------------------
I wanted to suggest increasing missile/mine damage ... while there is a difference between wireframe/non-wireframe ships..... wireframe ones allready now die to one nuke and sometimes die to one cannonball... so no big change for them

btw... stop saying that missiles are broken... they do work a bit.. just don't do the damage necessary to non-vanilla ships

I would love to see unguided rockets (as Starbutt suggested), there was already something about them in the missile thread....
they should have high refire/high speed (1000+)/not very high damage (need to be balanced against GBs, damage should be lover than tracking/slower missiles provided those are upped)
.... they would be really nice against bombers... and with 70 ammo (max in FL i believe) they would not be spammed so much...
(the sniper weapon is something along those lines too)

decreasing universal armor upgrade to some 1.5-2 would also be nice.... while keeping bots/bats
This would make many hits in a short time as well as missiles deadly... while the lucky hits from "spray and pray" would be repaired with bots/bats.

increasing normal gun damage is however a bad idea.... fighters will get very deadly against GBs and even bigger caps... with missile/unguided misilles you still have the limited ammo supply.
