I've noticed a nerf in a set of faction guns from the Vanilla ones

Actually heheh I do have a very rarely used Eagle myself that used to be a Karasu, which is probably why it's rarely used now. I have to admit that I probably shouldn't have made the switch as I am far less likely to be hit in a Karasu then in an Eagle. The Karasu is like a surgeons tool. As for bombers I'm a dedicated Kaichou pilot and by far I have more hours logged in that then my fighter. This being natural due to the composition of our enemy's fleet. I certainly enjoy the ships, they are above avergae without being the at the top which is great for playability while staying below the "nerf-radar". Despite the fact that we always noticed that we found ourselves in an energy crisis compared to dmg output when using Skyblast loadouts, I didn't actuially feel compelled to look deep into it until I finnished the SP 1.0 (5 times now, yay) again and flew around the Sigmas at the end of the story. After a couple hundred NPCs downed I took a look at the stats and compared to the stats in the tougher Disco mod. This came on the heels of discussions on the forums about whether escorts can perform their duties or not so I was compelled to put it on the table. I still hold it in my opinion that fighter guns all in all should universally get buffed, but tackling this nerf was more in line with our ability to affect small changes one step at a time.
