This is balanced?

[Dab]

I agree Jamez. Once we balance out the huegenot we will be using only Sabres, Eagles, Titans, and any other fighters I find are made by freelance companies or factions (such as junkers ships would be available since they sell to anyone). And then restricting battleships to Osiris, Rheinland BS, and Battlestars (Osiris made by Corsairs now, Rheinland BSs can be Salavaged in Sigma-13 AND we could have captured some during the time AW occupied Rheinland [RP story], and Battlestars are sold and constructed by Zoners on Zoner bases and we ARE Zoners.

And about Mortars. The could be thought of as the replacement to submarines. Since there isn't a cap like a submarines (there is no point to one...) there are no torpedo dedicated ships. Mortars take huge checks out of your energy (2 heavies take almost all of the Osiris' energy capacity) so they aren't overpowered and are even easy to dodge in anything besides a BS (though it is still possible).

Gunboats. I agree completely. Need very large updates to it. Slightly stronger hull and shield. Best anti-fighter weaps anywhere (and I mean a balance between refire rate, damage, and accuracy, the solaris may succeed in the first two but it has horrible accuracy and when put over the tracking red cross it doesn't really hit the fighter). Maybe a small decrease in agility and add even more hull as it should be so agile it can sit behind a bomber, but have to use some turret view for things. Gunboats SHOULD NOT stand a chance against a cruiser unless you have 2 or more at least. Gunboats should be anti-fighter. Cruisers are anti-capships.

Nightfall, Huegenot should NOT get better hull. If the hitbox is fixed leave hull were it is right now. If it isn't fixed maybe we should even decrease the hull to make up for the fact you have a 10% chance of hitting the ship. Turret number needs reduced OR put back to original number and change all or 3/4 of them to level 9 guns as it isn't really a capital ship but a transport to new galaxies. So it should be like a balance between a real cruiser and an anti-fighter cruiser. Or we can lower turret number in line with the other cruisers and have it balanced alot like them, but then losing the special feel of the huegenot. Its agility however is a problem. Its as good as a Bret GB. Definitly fix that. It should be as agile as the Kusari Cruiser, or if it becomes half anti-fighter than maybe a bit better.

LFs stay as they are. Soon BSs will be invulnerable to single fighters alone if Igiss takes are considerations into account. If we make LFs too strong VHFs will never be used.
