Pirates vs Traders PvE/PvP

[Hidamari]

the bomber transport balance is absolutely disgusting right now

FTFY. It's not bombers

No, it is the bombers and you literally explained why in the very next paragraph

the majority of ships in the mod have gotten buffed into viability over time.

Thats called Power Creep. Its extremely bad for every game its ever happened in and you need to stop it.

Things dont need to be buffed, bombers never had any trouble destroying capital ships or transports in the past ten years and dont even try to tell me that they did lol, they had trouble destroying nimble gunboats.

literally that is why bombers are disgusting right now unchecked power creep over the years. it ISNT transports that are bad.

VHF vs transport and gunboats vs transports feel normal like they should, you're not going to kill them and more likely than not you WILL die due to your defiance but they cant just instantly delete you with 0 compromise, you have time to radio for help, stall it out, perhaps run a short distance to saftey, hell you even have enough time to roleplay while you're being shot.

The experience isnt terrible, you defied the pirate you're probably going to die but you stand a chance of doing at least something
