' Wrote:I reckon that giving cap ship approval to faction leaders would be akin to shooting this server in the foot. There are some factions which I wouldn't give any more power too if it was that or my continued existence on Discovery.
Agreed the power has went to some peoples heads way to much they have delusions of owning the server and rules not applying to them. I'll also say for faction leader you yourself seem to be a pretty reasonable guy and I think a lot of them could learn from you.
' Wrote:Bombers, where do you people get the idea that 2 bombers can take down a single battleship? Get two average bomber pilots and put them up against an average battleship pilot. It won't work. The battleship only needs to take one down and he's home free. A Battleship shield recharges faster than a bomber can put SN shots into it. The only way for two bombers to take down a battleship is if you've got Dusty and DBoy piloting the bombers and me in the battleship. I can't fly battleships and they -can- fly bombers.
This one has often puzzled me too Bombers are good ships with the supernova and everything but back when I was flying a Spyglass about Bombers were just not a problem I found them quite easy to hit and very fast to die. Now granted if there enough of them I'd have had a problem but that would be true of any class of ship.
I had doubts about peoples claims of taking down a Battleship alone for quite a while although I almost did it myself in a Gunboat due to very bad piloting on their part and actually made them flee so I now believe it happens. My belief is it's down to really bad aiming people with the Battleships though and not really a nerf Bombers issues.
