Battletransports

Problem here is, a skilled sabre will be able to avoid getting it's shield knocked off; considering you meet a skilled solo-sabre-pirate you would probalby just be able to make 1/2 to 2/3's of the way.

The only problem a sabre will ever have against a BTrans, is it's lack of firepwer to actually take it down.

The problems of bomber is, that they are less maneuverable and therefore easier to hit; with the nerfed SNAC range a bomber would need to close on a distance inside the Type 3's firing range, therefore taking a lot of hits.

Yup my very first post in this topic. I said skill of both pilots can be win or loss to both. Now in a snub i am average. 50/50 win/loss. But in large ships i am good(not uber/awesome) and i usually hit what i fire at more often then miss. A sabre will lose it's shields in 2 hits from a B-trans. 12 turrets is 12K damage/6K shields.
As for a slave liner getting raped by a lone VHF? Nothing personel, but you cannot fly a big ship well. I have fended off 2 bombers in a Slave liner. Not kill them mind you, but enough damage they ran away instead of death.
Winning a fight does not always mean killing the other ship. Living to finght another day is a win in a transport. B-Trans exxel at living long enough to get safely to port.
