Discovery 5.1 Dev Diary #4 - The Inter-Class Balance Puzzle

[Haste]

Are you sure the average Disco man will be able to survive the simultaneous cap velocity buffs and snub strafe nerfs while 30 centimeters away from an angry cap?

No. I'm quite sure they won't be. I'm afraid that's just the reality of having capital ships that can defend themselves from competent snubs. Snub vs cap gameplay is just very punishing because of how much damage capital ships (have to) do in a short time window.

Hopefully bombers will actually be a little more forgiving in this regard, but their larger size might work against us there more than the stronger shields work in our favor.
