Missile boats

[Jinx]

well - i remember, i had a liberty missile boat ones ( - but it was back in 4.82 days - more tolerant days ) - no one complained, ... mind, i had no single pvp ... but still - i think the advantages equal the disadvantages - however, in RP.... i do understand that not all factions can deploy a counter-capitalship.

but saying its ooRP is a big step. - its like saying
- 4 light mortars on your battlecruiser are ooRP, cause you are playing for a very great advantage against enemy cruisers, cause 4 mortars means that you are looking for those the most, while ignoring fighters.
- all cerberus turrets is ooRP, even if you can, cause we know that cerberus ships are mainly used against other capital ships
- all solaris is ooRP, cause we know that solaris turrets are mostly used against fighters

i KNOW that all those setups require some "skill" - however.... aiming a gunboat missile at an enemy needs some skill, too - you cannot simply spam them into space... you won t get very lucky then. - you ll have to time them ( or you ARE lucky ... )

i have been flying a kusari GB against two bretonian red catamarans with infernos, krakens and SN. - i had 2 missile launchers - while you consider that "ok" - these missiles were almost no threat to the bombers... they dodged them just as they came. - and they ripped the gunboat apart.

even if i have had 4 missile launchers ( the maximum i can put on a kusari GB for that matter ) - i wouldn t have been successful.

i see the point of the argumentation - but i think its a lot of drama about something that is not as relevant as it appears.

i once attacked a rogue gunboat with 2 missiles and 2 fighter escorts. - a perfect setup - while i was alone in a BHG bomber... the two missiles ripped me apart easily - i wasn t destroyed, but i had to spend 10million on refitting my ship. - end of the story ... MY FAULT... i should have retreated. - i would NEVER blame the gunboat for my mistake for attacking them. - and retreating is almost always possible.
