Lets improve the gameplay between the Hessians and the Corsairs

[AeternusDoleo]

When your enemies come with idiotic combis and you can't be arsed to confront them with puretech? Sure, use equally idiot combis yourself. Heck, I was a strong advocate of a largely redfielded techlist, with 50% powernerfs for freelancers on all but civvy tech. That'd have put the kybosh on this entire thing. And the tons of "Pirate ID" gunboats we're seeing all over Sirius (Ascos in Rheinland and Gamma. I mean. W.T.F.?)

The playerbase wanted differently. This is the ruleset the SERVER wanted, so yea, play within the rules and do what you like. If that means abandoning the Titan as a combat craft, so be it. I bloody warned that these exotic tech combis would start causing trouble still. Yea, I'm annoyed that people are now whining about it, ESPECIALLY when there's ways to fight fire with fire within the rules. And when everyone's had enough, THEN we can nerf everyone into the craft they're supposed to be in ACCORDING TO THEIR DESIRED ROLE.

As for the sair ships, personally I'd upscale that Titan to SHF, signifying it's role as a heavily armored, sluggish fighter designed to deliver pain and lots of it. Then bump the Gladiator to VHF (axe one torp slot for another class 10 gun, add one additional class 10 gun slot somewhere) and be done with it - much like what was done to the Rogue line. Everyone wins: Sairs get a multipurpose fighter ideal for bombing and fighter support duty in the Titan - ideal as the heavy hitter in piracy packs since the Praetorian isn't something to write home about (good bomber, but not a great bomber). The underused Gladiator, sluggish enough for a VHF, becomes one. With some extra shielding and firepower that craft should be about right.

But that's just me. *shrug*
