Cap vs. Fighter/Bomber weapons.

[Grumblesaur]

I'd love to see you try that on my cruiser. You see if a few seconds of Imp. Debilitator fire can down my shield. I can guarantee it doesn't.. And Infernos still take awhile to drop a cruiser shield. The cruiser's shield regen is almost enough to nullify the inferno's shield damage when a fighter is using it. Bomber has better luck, yet it still takes awhile to drop that shield, and energy as well.

And about the refire rate, thats not that important, since the cruiser has a good chance of hitting its target. The projectile speed of over 1,000 sees to that. If a bunch of battleships with 2.00 refire manage it, surely you can with 3.03 in a smaller and faster ship.. If not, its not because balance is messed up.

Also, the damage to energy of those two OC destroyer turrets is similar. Of course the faster refire takes a bit more energy, but also gives more damage.

And I use fighters, bombers, and capships all. And since before 4.80.. So I've seen the bombers that were too good, bombers and fighters that were absolutely useless, and ones that were at least proficient at their job. That is what bombers are for, killing capital ships.

If your cruiser has trouble against a bomber, which by all rights it SHOULD, get some fighters to escort you, because they DO help.

And that Redcat that killed the BHG BC in Sig-13. Well he had to have had a full load of Imp Debs along with an SN and the BHG BC had to have been a very bad pilot, because I could beat a RedCat with an Inferno, Imp Debs, and SN all together with little damage..
Now if you want to compare strength of capships to bombers, go ahead.. But don't try to compare bomber weaponry with capship weaponry. It can't be compared and trying to won't get you anywhere. If we balanced it in the way you guys seem to want, either bombers wouldn't be able to fire their anti-capship weaponry, or capships would be able to chainfire mortars every 2 seconds.

I didn't mean full shield, just that tiny bit that pops up when it recovers.

Of course. I can hit the crazy NPCs that do barrel rolls with 2.00 turrets.

My cruiser doesn't have trouble with bombers, so log as they aren't 20m behind me or right below me. Stop making this personal.

Yes, yes, you thinking you could kill a Red Cat is all nice, and wonderful, you egomaniac, you.

Cap weapons are based off fighter weapons. Solaris Turrets: SOLARIS CODE. Cerberus Turret: CERBERUS CODE. Battle Razor: Mini-razor. Mortar series: Supernova Antimatter cannon.
With an increase in power and energy for cap weapons proportionate to the fighter version, we might have some more interesting fights.

You're taking this way out of proportion.

@Tenacity: Chainfiring? That might take me a while to learn.

@sindroms: I don't mean this in the drastic change you and Dab seem to take it for.
