Gunboat ponderings

Hey


I see like this:

So we have here smaller ships against bigger ships...
It is hitbox, speed and agility thing here.
All on the side of smaller ship (easy to evade hits) in battle..
The developers compensate that whit shilds hull and weapons (all this should be bigger ship adventage ).
Hull and shild are on the side of the bigger ship ..we all know that.
Well did I forgot something?
Ah yes weapons...
It should be fine tuning..which depends on hitbox, speed, agility
and one small thing (for me very important)
purpose of the ships
And this is the major issue here...
If I have ship (GB) which only purpose is to kill fighters then the weapons should be made for that . The fighter only option should be to run away.
The GB are not made to fight Cruisers..but to kill fighters.
The devs made mistake here becouse they offer GB weapons to fight bigger ships...I know they just wish to satisfy all the players..but the ship purpose is to fight smaller and faster ships....


Soo what kind of weapons statistic do I suggest?

1.They (GB weapons) should be fast..GB should be able to hit fighter...
-1200m/s speed(that should be avrage)

2.They should do some demage not just to tickle
- fighter weapon demage +50, but rate 1.5 more then fighter
(soo if fighter have 500dps and rate 4 then GB should have 550dps and rate 6)
thet would also give the developers more space whit making house GB weapons

3.And they shuld have little more range than fighter weapons.
fighter range +100m

So here example:
(I don't have all the new stats soo I will use old one)
old salamanca;
575dps, rate 4, range 600m, speed 600m/s
Corsair GB weapon should be;
625dps, rate 6, range 700m, speed 1200m/s

remember here fighter can allways run away...

I have also some sugestions for other ships class weapons...
But it is always the mater of ship purpose.
