BH gunboats PLEASE

[Athenian]

It seems to me that a bit of complaining or a loss or two in a combat will get anything nerfed.

I know the gunship has a few features that leave many thinking it's some kind of superpowered uber ship but it can, and is, killed by fighters, bombers or anything bigger once you stand and slug it out. It is poorly armoured, even when equipped with the best upgrades, compared to any of the others.

The gunship can destroy a less agile gunboat or one flown by a pilot who isn't as experienced, but why should the solution necessarily be to nerf the ship rather than increase your own skill and practice a bit?

I's said before and I'll say it again. These demands for "balancing" ships wouldn't be coming if people were winning fights. And picking yet again on a BHG ship is yet another example of the school of thought that would prefer to see hunters using piranhas and persuasion. In 4.85 I predict whinging corsair players who get killed by gunships in their bombers, even though that is apparently what it is supposed to do. Either that or you'll be so untouchable murdering other player's helpless traders in the Omegas without any fear of consequence that you'll wonder why you play this game at all.
