Intended changes with 4.87

[sindroms]

Intended. Carriers are weak versus other heavies, but have strong anti-snub capabilities.

WHAT.

Okay, seriously dude, you made me actually pause, look up at the wall, look back down at the screen, re read it again before I would hit the reply button.

Mind you, you almost made me knock over my beer while doing so.

Aet. Over the years you devs and balance peeps have hammered in a lot of things in our minds and one of those was to stop whining about anti-snub weapons such as solaris and type4 trans turrets just because that they rely too heavily on two aspects such as the ship size and the turret placement. That we will never have an equally good anti snub protection for any ship utilising the dedicated tools for that job just because how Freelancer calculates its aiming circle. Fine. Fair enough. We learned not to blame you for that.



Then tell me this. Why, why, WHY.

have strong anti-snub capabilities.

Why would you say that. Why would you say that a ship longer from nose to butt than the RANGE of the turrets in question would have strong anti-snub capabilities. Why.
Just.
No. No. It does not work that way and you guys very well explained that to us.


The LAC was good just because of its powerplant and armor. That is all. Its size, speed and turret mechanics utterly remove any sort of chance for it to have ANY defense from snubs. Let alone allow someone to tell it has capabilities.

The LNDread has less firepower, sure. But its size and agility compared to the LAC actually made it perhaps a tad more difficult to shoot it with bombers. Just a little.

Please, just do not say such things. If you perhaps placed all the turrets in one spot on that thing, THEN it might live up to its rumored anti snub capabilities. Right now, no. It does not. It simply does not.
