Thoughts on 4.76

I have found the Flack turrets to be practicly useless, but I havn't found anything to replace them with. The missile turrets, in my opinion, should be for fighters. The Capital ships already have the missile dead-zone, so decreasing the power of the missiles would make fighting the little gnats... sorry, fighters, even more of a problem then it already is.

The biggest problem I have is that the NPC fighters and other ships can toss my Kusari Battleship around like it's nothing. It is very annoying to be fighting a small squad of fighters, and have one of them decide to ram me, and end up facing 180 the other way, upside down, and pointing straight up like some kind of beached whale. If there is absolutly nothing that can be done about this, oh well. If there is, please do so. Perhapse adding a kill-zone on the large ships. If a fighter makes contact with a battleship, head on, I don't care what sheilds you have, your fighter is going to pancake on my hull. Fighters should bounce away from Gunships and other fighters, take damage on Cruisers/Destroyers, and blow up as they flatten against the hull of a Battleship. The kill-zone should be on the ships hull, so that peeling the paint won't kill you, but hitting the ship will. Just a thought.

Other than that, things look fine to me. And F1 should be kept. You can tell when someone is abusing it, and when someone has to. I know, because i've used it a few times to get unstuck with a base or two. It's when they use it to avoid a fight that they should be punished. You know the difference, and just saying 'NO F1!' won't help anyone. The abusers are going to complain, and probobly get kicked off anyways, and the people who get stuck will have to start complaining because they have to exit out compleatly to get unstuck.
