Untouchable Gunboats

[Jinx]

while its a bit inappropriate to have a 900.000.000 upgrade on a 30.000.000 ship - its entirely up to the player. - those upgrades are totally generic and can by used by anyone that has the money for them and is willing to spend the money on this ship.

the difference between a cap 5 and a cap 8 is noticable - but not THAT big that it makes one ship untouchable and the other highly vulnerable.

possibly it is your loadout more than the armour after all. - gunship missiles are anti-fighter weapons, they do not do much damage to a gunboat. - primary turrets are also rather anti fighter weapons - while razors / pulse are anti-capital weapons.

in short - a gunboat with 4 razors will win against a gunboat with 8 primary guns. - a gunship with a mixture of pulse guns and razors will smoke a gunboat with missiles and primaries....

but a gunboat with primaries + missiles will have a much easier life against a bomber, while the gunboat with razors will either need to be lucky, a great gunner ... or a dead gunner.
