' Wrote:And to be fair, missile turrets -may- be overpowered against fighters, but a gunboat equipped with all standard turrets (i.e. guns, not missiles) is nearly incapable of hitting fighters. The fighters dodge far too easily, and for all intents and purposes they're invincible against gunboats who dont have missile turrets.
Ehm... any self respecting gunboat pilot will tell you this is wrong, even on my Corsair gunboat, the mother of all gunboats (thing has a supernova magnet installed), I can, fairly well, dodge and fire at fighters and bombers just fine. Takes a bit of skill is all.
That's the thing about missile turrets, it takes all skill, and therefore all fun out of the equation.
Think about it this way. You have a gunboat with all turrets, and you kill a bomber. The bomber PMs you, "//GF that was some nice dodging and shooting"
Now let's say you kill a bomber with all missile turrets, what can the bomber possibly say to you that's nice? "//GF that was some nice missile key mashing on your part"?
