Discovery 4.87: Conquest - Update 6

[Omi]

If you want to be able to absolutely demolish fighters, you have to get yourself to a point where they can also be a valid threat to you.

Yes, well done, a Solaris gunboat is still excellent at defending itself from snubcraft.

The problem is that 'defending itself' is literally the only role it can perform now. You're not providing any anti-snub cover when the merest tap on the thrust button sends enemy fighters out of range, and you can forget about offensive action because anything bigger than or equally-sized to you will rip you apart, and anything smaller will practically always be out of range.

I'd rather have Dulzians on a gunboat now. Solaris did need the nerf, but this is just stupidly heavy-handed.

Furthermore, this isn't even the worst balance issue in update 6. The Kusari HFs (two of them, at least) going to even higher levels of OP in the very update that was supposed to balance Kusari is possibly even more pressing, given that Katanas and Chimmies are rapidly approaching a state of total invulnerability.
