The gunboat - immensely huge. She also has only 5 turrets (which have only 2 refire). The FG is fairly good, but a single FG doesn't make a ship OP.
The cruiser - absolutely immensely huge. I think I even managed to mortar those with my BS, while they were TSing. Those 12 guns and a good armor don't suffice it.
The battlejelly - an... abs.... abs... enor.... hu... hu... hugely, immensely, tremendously, monstrously, enormously, vastly corpulent squid! She does have good dps rating, but, basically, she is only an oversized turtle with none of those little, annoying missiles. While she can beat any heavy BS at charging, she sucks against those tiny Order Ossies.
I don't know much about the snubs, though.
Quoted for truth. Especially the bold part.
Irra's impulse speed serves no purpose, since it's maximum thrusting speed is still 140. And did you ever fly Obstinate in Fleet Combat? That kind of "one of the worst heavy cruisers in game" ? You'll cry when you'll try Irra. It has a nice turning speed, but THE SIZE....
Gunboat is a joke of somebody with a bad humour or simply hating Nomad PVPers.
Won't say anything for snubs, I don't fly em. But their caps (from my experience with them on DoD, and against them on Disco) is far from what I 'd call... even "decent".
