Cruiser Balance

[Blodo]

Well, once 4.85 comes bear in mind that not only will the GB missile no doubt be nerfed (or possibly even forced to use ammo like fighter missiles), but also it appears vanilla ships will have their vanilla vulnerability to missiles removed. Ergo, missiles won't be such a gamebreaking problem as they are right now.

However Telbasta I disagree with your concerns vs. cruisers. Gunboats are meant to be a hard counter to all sorts of small craft, while being devastated by those bigger than itself. You can't have a ship good versus everything, otherwise everyone will fly it. Like they fly gunboats at the present moment. Don't worry in 4.85 it will most likely be encouraged for you to have a good anti fighter loadout, but GB missiles shouldn't be all the rage anymore so you will still be able to enjoy fine GB on GB combat.
