This is balanced?

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.

I now have flown all of the cruisers. I like the Kusari best as it is agile, true to the Freelancer type and very effective. I currently own a Kusari Destroyer, Huegont, and Rheinland cruiser. I sold the Britonia as it just did not have enough turrets for me and the Liberty needed to be facing the enemy to use that big foreward gun.
As a Huegenot owner, I am in agreement it is too good. I can fight in a VHF mode, meanining never having to go to turret view because I can dog fight like a VHF effectively. Yes, it is the smallest cruiser and should be more agile than the rest but I think it should be less agile than a GunBoat.
I also agree it has too many turrets. My Kusari has 9 lvl 10 and 4 lvl 2 turrets. Lets limit the Huegenots number of lvl 10 and downgrade the others to lvl 2.
In my Huegenot, you cannot hit me unless I am very close. I think that hit box needs to be made bigger.
Don't get me wrong, I love my Heuggy and it is my explorer but I rarely play it now because it is too good and it takes the fun out of it if you know you can't lose.
