Fighters should be fun...

[El Nino]

As suggested i started my own modified server to test higher weapon speeds, i raised all weapons included in a fight with my brother for 200, titan on titan, corsair weapons, (i'm sure it would work for other weapons too), it did help, normaly our fights last around 10 minutes, the fights now took half that. (we didn't use any armor upgrades), once you get the upper hand in a dogfight, you can do enough dammage, probably with full upgrades fights would take up to a half an hour... really the only diffrence was in decreassed ability to dodge...:)but you don't need to be a genius to figure that out... perhaps we should also consider more the "less nanos and batteries" option... another note on our research was that nova torpedo kills were less freequent as you really needed a bit more focus on dodging...

Weapons used were salamancas and tazionas lvl 9 speed at 800, easy to do change, with good overall improvement to dogfighting, it's just a whole new level of enjoyment when you actualy figure out that left, right, left, strafe isn't gonna get you through a run with impunity...

We didn't test capital ships, becouse I figured they were easy to hit as it was and this wouldn't change anything...

I did latter try myself some higher speeds on capital ships against NPC's, that made them really vunerable, so this needs further thought... perhaps even lowering their speed and increasing damage... just a suggestion though... Cap vs Cap seems balanced at least for now...

That's all i have from testing higher weapon speeds, it helps speeding up 1 on 1... Myth Confirmed:)
