No it can't. It needs another cruiser or a BS to distract it's target before even attempting to take out a BS.
Quote:Factions weapons - Yes, at least level 9, if not 10 guns for all factions. GMG have Sunblast Bs, Rheinland has two kinds, Outcasts and Corsairs have them, but they are the only one. It doesn't please me to fly around as a Bundschuh with Corsair weapons. I'd like to have level 9-10 Lugers, not Salamancas there. Also, it wouldn't hurt if you made shield busters for alot of different factions either, seeing as without them or inferno, you have no hope of destroying the shield of anything larger than a bomber. Corsairs would have too big an advantage, over even other fighters, if no one else has them.
So what are the civilian shield busters then?
Yes, they only go upto class 8 and do about the same damage as the class 7 corsair weapons, but they still work.
The manta that got your wraith character in frankfurt a while ago used the advanced debilitors, which are civilian shield-busters.
Actually the corsair don't have much of any advantage at all, the titan is still out-manouvered by most, if not all, the other HFs and VHFs currently being used.
As for all factions getting class 9 weapons, why do you think that only a few factions have a class 9 gun available?
Rhienland only has 2 now because igiss added the hornviper mk2, the outcasts and the corsairs (the biggest and most powerful factions in vanilla FL) were the only groups with two class 9 guns.
Plus just looking at the stats of a gun is pointless, try them, it's the best and only way to find out for sure if they're any good.
Besides which the class 8 brunschuh guns are practically identical to the outcast class 8 guns, and you can still rip a VHF in half with a LF fitted with class 8 outcast guns.
Nomad guns are excellant for energy usage and damage, both the blasters and cannons, so they both need to be altered so that they drop with alot less frequency.
Players are relying on high-damage guns and agile/heavily-armoured ships way too much, a player in an LF has to be an excellant pilot just to fight a VHF without dying in the first couple of minutes.
Especially as most players have their fighters setup to do enough damage to drop the shields of and then cripple a BS.
Quote:BRs, Infernos, and the like. Its not too far a stretch to think that someone would find a way to design those in the FL universe. And surely all other factions are going to grab the designs as fast as possible. Thats why its sold at many places.

My point was that if the capship weapons did the damage most of us think they should do the infernos and Battlerazors wouldn't be needed.
Plus you also ignored what I was saying, I said you don't see many players using the house and basic turrets, but you always see players using the 'special' turrets.
