Discovery 4.81 features, bugs & suggestions

[Virus]

Virus, the sunslayer can easily be dodged by practice. (Maybe its just a result of surviving Angel's "random missile treatments.")

The sso| I used it against could do it, taking at least 30 torps and 2 lives of my own to get them both.

The Torpedo isn't very agile or fast. You simply have to break away before passing in head to head with someone. If you have no shield, and they do, don't head to head them to the last second. Break off. This is simply another form of fighting. Should we make lasers slower because they can hit us now? Geez, we can't have fighter combats be the same everytime. We need diversity, and torpedoes are not overpowered or too hard to dodge.

Okay that was a bit longer than meant to be..

Don't you pay attention? I was saying the NOMAD FIGHTER NEEDED UPGRADING. Anything with more agility than it can ANNIHILATE IT. Get on its tail, torp, whatever, no mines, no CM's to keep them off your tail. Not to mention the LF shield it has.

I wasn't getting hit head-to-head, I believe I explained that.

Highlighted part: I couldn't get him in front of me for more than half a second, how am I supposed to go head to head?

First, Virus, I agree. Both the Viper & the Manta need to be toned down a bit.
As for the Taiidan bomber, what you viewed as agility was actually me going full-thrust after a pass to get distance while you turned around. This extra distance gave me the ability to turn before you could get back within weapons range.

That has nothing to do with it. I turn in engine kill, I am moving away from you and turning at the same time. When I turn to face you, you were already behind me, which SHOULD NOT HAPPEN. It has never happened to me before.

-----------------
Manta: I could barely hit it with my LF. Note couldn't hit it not couldn't take its shield off.
