7 gun 2.00 loadouts - coming changes

[Durandal]

The sabre is historically GARBAGE and has been since I've played anyways.

I feel like we should also address the fact that things like the Nephthys and Lhotse are still going to be incredibly effective even without the ability to pull off silly gun setups.

These are two ships that are performing very well, and do probably need to be looked at. What I'm not interested in is erasing their identities. While they likely need to be toned down, they're definitely going to remain 7 gunners.

What about Core and Order HF's which can mount 7 class 9's?

There's an Order HF with 7 guns?

The Hammerhead and Skipjack can likely remain as is, glass cannons. HFs as a class have yet to find their particular niche and I don't mind experimenting a bit here.

Great... so what we gonna use that "freed up weapon class" for?

Ruin another class of ships with a useless split?

Actually, Battlecruisers have already been "ruined" this way and currently share the fighter turret class with with VHFs and HFs. This will just reduce confusion by having it present only on a select few 7 gun VHFs.
