Kushan VHF hitbox

[StarButt]

@ Oso-Rojo:

Well, after considering circumstances in which you fight, I must say, you're one of the few players I know out there, that don't care about the odds, and you fight the impossible fights. Due to these factors, your skills really improved, but you also got the superior fighter. Again, I don't complain bout the fact that it's bugged, but rather that is NOT CYLON. What I personally would LOVE to see, is more CYLONs online at the same time, bigger faction, and all flying Marauder Raiders. But as you dislike current stats on the Marauder, If introducing raider Mk2 is too complicated, I'd suggest re-balancing Marauder to fit your needs. You can ask for class10 hardpoints on it, class10 shield, even more armor and regens, but, would have to sacrifice it's agility in return. It has to have some drawback to be "balanced craft". If you research "Star Hound" class Viper Mk1, to the Raider Mk1, you'll see that Cylon raider is in fact more maneuverable than Viper, which was intended as fast interceptor. Thus why, Marauder should be more maneuverable than the Viper. Make a request to get upgraded Marauder, I'd be the 1st to vote YES on it.

Now, about stats "on paper". If you compare Viper 1 to Viper 2, by those only, you'd easily choose Mk2 as a superior fighter. But is it really so? Ask =BSG=Brainswap that still flies Mk1, and he'll tell u IT IS NOT. A slightly stronger armor and more regens of the Mk2, come with a CURSE of a bigger hitbox, actually turning the tables. In mass combat, when everyone is shooting at you, smaller hitbox is MUCH MORE important than 10 or so more regens or few 1000 more armor, that will melt away eventually, but with smaller hitbox you can evade almost, indefinitely.

Same goes for the current Marauder, only it is its agility that turns the tables: A bit less armor, and a bit less regens, are negated by the fact that now, Marauder is in fact, quite agile. In a conclusion: I personally, would LOVE to HAVE viper with the STATS of the Marauder! By all means, TURN THE Mk2 from VHF to HF! Give it class 9 MAX and class8 hardpoints, make it into a CROW equivalent. "Nerf" the Viper in that way, and you'll get my THANKS. I'd take AGILITY and MANEUVERABILITY over armor and regens on a fighter, anyday!

EDIT: Oh and don't get "flashed" by the CLASS 10 OMG guns. CODES and Nomads suck, simply due to the fact that they're 600m/s, and in dogfight, it's not about how much damage your guns make, but rather if they actually HIT or MISS. Krakens and Wyrms >> all CODES. And guess what? CYLONS can use OC weaponry...
