This is balanced?

[Tain]

Whether it is balanced or not, I ask you one question. How do you add new content to this game without upgrading -something-, when everything is already at maximum pretty much (IE: Eagle has the best maneuverability, Titans have the largest power plant, etc.)? Are you going to make a really crappy ship in hopes that someone will go, "Oh, well, I feel like being statistically inferior to everything else in space" and purchase that ship?

The two fighters in question cost MORE than gunboats. Mull that one over for a second. To reiterate... they cost four million more credits than the most expensive gunboat. Are you saying that you shouldn't get what you pay for? <-- Nixxing this part thanks to an err on my part pointed out by the generous LORD CAPTAIN OF ASGARD WARRIORS.

On that note, I've always known that gunboats are inferior to fighters in terms of flexibility. It would be different if you could assign your turrets to track a target while you yourself are busy performing evasive maneuvers, but alas, this is not EVE. Ultimately what it comes down to is the capital ships in general, gunboats included, need an upgraded antifighter turret. I've already stated this elsewhere, but I'm not going to bother digging the post up just to say, "SEE LOOK I SAID IT".
