i agree.....but fighters have also on their side speed and manevurbility..GB are slowish cows with nice hull and shields...most of class 10 fighters have more weps with potentialy bigger damage output...and dont forget novas and supernovas (or whatever they are called)
my point was only that they are only ships without shield busters.....i know that GB with its fwd gun can take fighter shield quite fast if that fighter stays in one place but in reall fight GB has really big troubles to hit a fighter...so when it hits that shoot better count for something...atm that isnt like that...
to be honest i really doubt that GB will ever get something like smaller inferno cannon...but if u think about it better cruiser would need smaller infernos too...most of them can fire inferno 3 times (at the most) before they loose all their power....and what is the use of getting enemies shields down when u cant use other weps to finish them off...
