BHG Gunship or Destroyer?

[Dusty Lens]

Well, in the end I suppose it depends on what you want to express with the ship.

But let's strip aside the RP and go with the barebones.

The BH Dessy is the weakest of the cruiser class vessels. She's pretty small, but not so small that it actually matters in the scheme of things. Supposedly she excels in the role of long range artillery support, but for the solo bounty hunter that rarely comes into play.

The BHPwnship is also the weakest of the Gunboat class vessels. Unarmored her hull will buckle under fire from a single supernova and her cargo capacity is so low as to prevent anything but a cap VIII enhancement. A standard armor VIII will allow you to survive a supernova. That being said, she's very very small and it -does- matter. She turns like a bandit and in the right hands can take on everything from fighters to battlecruisers single handed. On top of being the smallest of the gunboats, her shield bubble/hitbox is even smaller than the model itself and most bombers will need to be right in your face to hope to score a shot.

Essentially, the BH Gunship is an ultra powerful fighter with a turn speed better than some bombers. She's an evil evil ship. But the destroyer looks cooler.

This is coming from a fellow who doesn't fly them, but fights them on a regular basis. Also! Remember that some house governments, such as Liberty, frown on cruisers entering their space.
