Salvager and Raba regen counts: too high?

[Haste]

it's almost like the ship was designed to survive

I can see the arguments for it, I suppose, but I've never had a problem killing even CAU8 salvagers. They usually just bot up once and then have no regens. Then again, I pirate with a bomber 9/10 times, so...maybe against transports the Salvager has more of a chance. Dunno, really.

Please share your secrets.

Soloing a CAU8 Salvager that's thrusting towards a docking location while turretsteering competently and firing at you simultaneously - while you're in a bomber - has to be one hell of a feat.

I mean, a UAU8 Stork can comfortably thrust 40k in a straight line purely on regens and hull against a lone heavy bomber. And I think we can agree the Salvager with far more hull, far more regens and far more threatening firepower would be at least twice as survivable. That's at least 80k to thrust to reach a docking point.

Unless you're catching Salvagers literally in the middle of nowhere, there's no way in hell you've soloed CAU8 ones in a bomber.

Based on some simple maths, a Salvager can bot up about 90% of its hull twice, by the way. Not just once.
