Kusari Heavy Fighters

[McNeo]

Sure, scale them down. Also, rename heavy fighters to simply Fighters. And then we can have Light Fighters. Fighters. Then merge the SHF class with the VHF class.


Light fighters. Fighters. Heavy fighters.


Boosh. So the main fighting vehicles are fighters, which are small, fast, have less armor than our currently used VHFs and are skill-based. So everyone can just make the whole class as elite as possible.

Please don't make Liberty people fly the Executioner!

The problem with scaling some fighters is that they're vanilla, and nobody wants to touch vanilla. I dont blame them to be honest - although the Executioner could probably do with a new model. Anyway enough about Liberty.

Easy way to go towards solving the Kusari HF problem is to revert their turning stats back to the last update and go from there. Keep the other HF-related nerfs for this update. It'll still probably be more powerful than the available VHFs, which would require a combination of buffs to the VHFs and nerfs to the HFs. We're mainly talking armour here - turning can only be changed so much before you jump off the "garbage" cliff.

Remember, the favourable shape of Katana/Chim needs to be balanced by being among the slower, rather than the faster, ships in their weight class. That they got a turning buff is almost comical, if it werent so eye-wateringly confusing.

Ah but, I guess the Kusari OP discovery trend will continue indefinitely. I do have some Kusari characters I was meaning to use...
