[Nightfall]

Hey nightfall, thanks for pulling up the spec sheets on all those different fighters. Just one question: I dont see how the manta is overpowered. It has about the same agility as the sabre, but has less armor and bigger power supply. The power supply used on the manta is the one used on the Titan. Which is only one level higher than the Sabre. But the Sabre has better armor. I don't understand why the manta needs a nerfing given that the ship stats are about the same.

Sidewinder, look closer:


Sabre: Armor: 11200
Manta: Armor: 10600

not so much 'less', in fact with our load-outs... not a difference at all, just one codename shot, and we pack 4 of those...

Sabre: Steering: 43000 43000 60000
Manta: Steering: 48000 48000 230000

how much is the difference, I don't know how to calculate the figure?

Sabre: Angular: 41000 41000 41000
Manta: Angular: 41000 41000 141000

same question

Sabre: Rotation: 8400 8400 4400
Manta: Rotation: 8400 8400 8400

is this 4000 more in favor of the Manta? it seems so.


put aside the figures. you've played the game. you piloted both fighters. you turn super-fast and all. but someone in a Sabre owns you or gets in your tail... (Quote Kristina Pryde) it's not the stats of the ship, it's the skill of the pilot (end Quote).



edit: @McNeo: yes, you did, but not so thorough :)

edit2: somehow I deleted some numbers on the first edit...
