Kusari BS Guns

[marauder]

Regardless of what turrets a BS has it can still only shoot 2 fighters at any one time.

Lock one up and use missiles on it, track the other using the other turrets.

Either way when there are 4+ fighters swooping and diving all over it a Bs can't kill them all before they cause at least some damage.

But at the moment all it takes is a lone VHF or bomber to kill a player BS, I think it should take 4+ VHFs or bombers, specifically set-up to hurt a player BS, to do any damage.

Yes people will just buy cap-ships, but then again they do already.

For example, I spoke to a new player the other day who wanted to be GIVEN the money to buy a cruiser.

He wasn't interested in trading to get it, and when I mentioned joining a faction he immediately asked which one paid the most.

So why should we worry about everyone using cap-ships?

If they get out of hand we can always gang up on them, or if they cheat we can tell the admins.

As for Star Wars it was a lone fighter crashing into the bridge, no real-life ship has ever been destroyed by a hit to the bridge, that I ever heard of anyway.

Now if it had hit the armoury or the engines then yes, I'd expect it to blow up.

But the all the fighter did was take out the bridge, so the helm went off-line and it got dragged into the death star because the death star out-massed it.

Unfortunately in FL when you hit the bridge of a cap-ship with a torpedo nothing much happens.
