Order Gunship

[ophidian]

Bombers are overwhelming in this mod, its not the caps that are weak:)- true bombers are probably Sekhmet type craft. /end of possible flame start

I don't think we need a new Gunboat as Order, we need new approach to its use. Hathors shall be used as anti cap support craft with their razors and all that. It has a point in use.

What Order suck (actually it is normal, its the other craft that sux in means of overpowered) is the small craft, especially the bombers.

Now, its best to be objective, we all love our factions and cannot stand anything that opposes it, we have 127321731723 examples posted around these forums.

However;

- Bombers and VHFs shall have specific roles. Order Bombers and VHFs are greatly designed and fitting to this role perfectly. Other faction crafts... like the Nommie bomber or BHG bomber are way too agile to be a bomber, removing the necessity of a VHF as well as ensuring a possible dogfight wing against an Order craft.

It is why people in Order are more and more into capital ships. If you cannot kill anything with a Bastet or Nephy or Sekhmet before becoming an epic hotshot, its pointless to play. It gets out of being fun and turns into a military academy.

Sincerely, I think Order has the best BS if used correctly and a very good upper class design of ships. The lower class design (smaller) is also perfect and what it should be in means of Bomber / VHF balance.

Its the OTHER FACTIONAL SHIPS that need degrading. Especially the bombers who are like tanks with F-16 agility.
