Kusari BS Guns

[marauder]

You do realise that 8+ corsair titans will strip the shield from and then kill a player BS quicker then 2 player bombers loaded with anti-shield weps and duel nova torpedos.

Then theres the 4 templar patrols that strip your BS shield fast too, just like the chimeara ones can.

Either player BSs become harder for NPCs to kill or we make them easy for everyone to kill.

Personally I say double the shield and triple the armour, but thats just my opinion, a lone gunboat should strike fear into every lone or pair of VHFs/bombers, let alone a cruiser/destroyer or a BS.

If the worst gunboat turret gets upgraded so that it does more damage then the best codename, then have the worst cruiser turret do double the damage of the best gunboat turret and then have the worst BS turret do double the damage of the best cruiser turret there won't be much need for BS class anti-shield weps.

VHFs and bombers will HAVE to work in groups of 4-6 + to have a decent chance of killing a lone player BS.

To stop people buying and using only BSs we could make the mortars and missiles use ammo as well as energy. Then you'd have to trade regularly to replace used ammo.

But people won't like this because we'd have to do the same to NPC cap-ships, so you'd need a fleet to take on a single BS patrol.

Like I said these are just my opinions, I know it would make BSs and other cap-ships too hard for VHFs and bombers to hurt, let alone kill, so I'm not gonna suggest it.
