Community Input: Heavy Fighters, Light Fighters

[Haste]

Since Haste is too busy to do anything and to save me some brainstorming

):

Please nerf the Thresher, Tachyon-senpai~!

Have no fear, this is the number one priority of the dev team.

K for real now

Enhance the heavy fighter reverse speed to -30.

Messing around with reverse speed can potentially be somewhat interesting. Everyone who's played Neo Terra will know how much (significantly) higher reverse speeds affect snub combat.

Other ideas from the top of my head:

• - Unhittable ships are bad. Reduce strafe force on Heavy Fighters and Light Fighters to like 15000-17000 and 13000-15000 respectively. This probably screws over the fatter ships in these classes, so they'll need some help. Simply buffing the hell out of their stats and/or giving them unique advantages (go wild and give them double mine slots for all I care) should work.
  
• - Reduce responsiveness as well if need be.
  
• - If this makes them too bad at turning, increase maximum turn rate to compensate.
  
• - Give them other unique perks like different weapons or special 'heavy weapon' slots akin to Mini Razors unique to the class. Stuff like Yber's suggested reverse speed changes can be used as perks too.
  

I only just woke up so I don't have that many other ideas.
