There will never be a perfect balance, and I'd like to think each House or faction has its strengths and weaknesses. I mean Liberty ships are majorly agile compared to their counterparts in other Houses, even if their weapons are not powerful.
Rheinland has the very powerful craft, but out of sync weapons with the shield breakers.
Balance is overrated, but at times it is needed here and there. I mean Rheinland players are sort of cursed with awkward PvP weapons on fighters.
At times is does come down to the pilots skills, some just can't accept the fact that they suck. I'm not a good PvP'er, the only thing I complain about is that my bomber isn't as agile as a SHF:lol: No point complaining there, just my bad luck with the bad matchup.
One ship I do think needs an agility nerf is that Kusari Explorer, the one with a big triangle sail/wing? It was almost as agile as my Taiidan bomber... it took ages to set them ablaze since they could turn and burn well.
