I am used to it.
It's no whine, it's my observation. If you need to comment on it, okay.
This is a Beta. So imbalances should be reported. That's what I am doing. Deal with it.:)
Then it is my job to say your view on balance, in my opinion, is wrong. And to fight to keep the balance that is already in place.
I agree with what was stated earlier, Bombers only real threat ARE Gunboats (GBs threats are Bombers, other GBs, Cruisers, and Battleships). That being said, I don't think either should be nerfed or buffed, as they balance each-other out just fine.
My point is. Being a player of both sides. People are having a hard time taking down skilled GB pilot. When they meet the occasional noobs or average player taking them down isn't a problem, but people ARE having a very hard time taking down experienced GB pilots and are upset about this. This is due to their skill, not their ship stats. If you were having a consistent hard time taking down noob pilots THEN, and only then, should there be questioning in the nature of balance. Being a PvPer from the LF class all the way up to Cruiser class of both lawful and unlawful ships, traders, pirates, navy, and hunters, I can honestly say that there is no need for a "nerfing" of the Gunboat class due to imbalance.
Saying it needs to be nerfed is akin to a Bomber pilots saying "LFs need to have their speed/agility reduced cause I can't kill them." One, that's the point, it shouldn't be easy for you to kill something that's MADE to be your nemesis, and two, that pilot obviously knows what he's doing, as one how didn't wont be magically effective because his ship is so incredibly OP.
Noobs are still noobs (easily killed), and pros are still pros (hard to kill). Sure their numbers are growing, but it's not your job to try to stop their growth by nerfing their ships, instead try to grow yourself;)
