Gunboats balance

[Tenacity]

I don't think you'll be able to pilot a Scorpian right away, if I remember correctly they are restricting gunboat and above usage anyway.

Weapon speed is effectively the velocity. Please try and use standardised terms...
Cerberus guns are slower than normal turrets, so that can hamper anti-fighter attacks.

About teleporting fighters... Well, that's most likely either bursts of thrustering and more.

yes i've talked to him in some PM's... from what I hear, the scorpions simply arent allowed out of their home systems unless circumstances permit, it's a defense-only ship (which i've got no problem with, really).

Anyways, my pirate GB uses all outcast guns. I hate to switch out two for missiles or cerberus turrets because they tilt the balance one way or another - missiles make me better against fighters but are near worthless against capships; cerberus turrets are awesome against other capships but very ineffective against fighters.

EDIT:

And really I dont think fighter combat is as much about overall strategy as it is reflexes and quick dodging/aiming ability. In a fighter, you really just 'spaz out' and try to swerve as much as possible to avoid gunfire while getting in shots where possible - because you die quickly. In a gunboat+, you live long enough to take into account ship positioning (yourself and the enemy, primarily), targetting subsystems, etc.
