raven claw - too strong?

[Korrd]

i was talking about the titan here, but anyway if you replace your rh bomber with titan you would have been dead in somewhare between 1/4 to 1/2 of the time since you would have 1/2 less hull and 1/2 less nanobots/batteries and without much gain in agility and firepower with the titan

rh bomber is also more than 3 times expensive than the slipstream too, which is pretty wrong for 2 ships that perform nearly the same, however, prices isnt such a big deal compared to balance in game mechanics

Those ships dont perform nearly the same. In fact they are way too different.
The RH bomber has 3 times more firepower than a slipstream. But a Slipstream is far more maneuverable than the Bomber.

But Nesa is an expert at light fighters, and im an expert with bombers.
I have very good accuracy, and he knows how to evade weapons fire.
He can hit my ships 3 times more than i can hit his. But 1 of my hits is equal to many of him.
So, in a fight between two elite pilots, the differences of the ships are not that important, because they know how to avoid their weaknesses from being exploited by the other.

As an example, i cant avoid his shoots, nor outmaneuver him.
So i use a maneuver which allows me to hit him while reciving little fire from him. No, It is imposible for me to get his tail, So i do a frontal attack. By the time he fired me enough to lower my shields, ive already pwn his hull. That means that he cant withstand a frontal attack and has to evade the incoming fire, and while evading like crazy he has little chance to fire an accurate shoot. And as i dont need to evade because his accuracy goes down then i can fire on him quite accurately.

Now, that is the way a pilot fights. By strategy. All ships in this mod have pros and cons. Its up to you to get a ship you are comfortable to use and is effectve for the kind of job you want to do.

By general rule, the weaker the armor / firepower, the more maneuverable is. and vice versa.

So, those ships that look like unbalanced, are not that unbalanced. they have weaknesses. Its up to you to find them in order to exploit them.
