7 gun 2.00 loadouts - coming changes

[Kanzler Niemann]

Dev boomer trying to tell me the sabre isnt garbage.

Aight, I’ll remember that every time I destroy one xdd

Sabre wasn't even popular in Vanilla, although there were some people who used it. Sabre is mainly an XTF meme who were above everyone's "skill peak" back in the day when they were around. I still remember XTF being one of the top clans of Freelancer history regarding Vanilla Freelancer, only few could best them, at least on my server there were a few not to mention people like "The~Menace" who were gods at the time. I don't think that Sabre is a very bad ship in general, it requires a lot of "input" to maintain anything, not to mention the giant shield bubble and the weak power core, every other ship can outclass the Sabre with ease simply because they have a smaller shield bubble, more powerful core etc.

When I began to play here I found the Sabre being far more manoeuvrable than it used to be on HHC like many other things that are very different from their Vanilla ancestors (TITAN NOT OP LOL!!) there is a tier rating between all ships where I would place the Sabre on a B to C because it simply does not well if you are an inexperienced pilot and other ships are far more reliable to those people, same to experienced players.

I'm also very curious if 7 Gun 2.0s were never meant to be a thing, how comes there is a change now? All of a sudden? I smell salt, call me toxic I don't care. I think the idea is stupid and restricts people to loadouts they do not want to play or simply cannot because they flew this exact setup for years or decades. Also while talking about guns, please revert Heavy Flashpoints back to 5.00s.
