Gunboats balance

[NonSequitor]

I'm curious about the weapons' outload on that gs of yours, Mjolnir. I assume that you have at least one missle turret on it.

I tried using 2 Liberty missle turrets on my gs with mixed results. When I was fighting two fighters I was doing ok. Missles have a nasty habit of stripping the target of guns. But when more of their buddies showed up (up to 5 fighters all together), my missles weren't locking at all, or very rarely. So I got my tuckuss handed to me.

They best luck I've had is will the "Jack of All Trades" setup: 1 Battlerazor and 5 turrets. That way I have slightly better chance of survival if a gb show up to join the festivities. The Battlerazor is not the most potent piece of hull-busting hardware, but it can fire 360' - a handy attribute.

Concerning missles, I noticed that they don't lock on to LFs very efficiently. Or rather they can evade misssles with relative ease (like weapons' fire in general).

On another note, I have test-flying the Liberty gunboat. I have to admit that it seems a tad overpowered. Taking the top aft turret off would be a good move. The front gun solution on the Liberty gunboat is sound. I wonder if the Orca's front gun hardpoint could be reconfigured without radically changing the ship model. As it is now, it is unappealing.

And on yet another note, I too would rather "upgrade" the other ship classes power plants slightly than downgrade the GBs' power plants. Maybe 5 - 7% increase to energy regen across the board.
