So, does this thread actually offer any suggestions or is it just a way for us to flame back and forth?
Ahem, any way... I've started flying Gunboats quite recently. I've fought (and killed) everything from Dreadnaughts to Seige Cruisers, Cupholders, many, many Battlecruisers Rocs and Liberators (I killed him by accident, I swear >:), and countless other Gunboats. Much like Bombers, Gunboats are only really effective against Crusiers and up in pairs, and against a Dreadnaught you pretty much need 3, any less and you just can't get enough DPS. It took me, Tycho and Ench like, 30+ minutes to kill a Dreadnaught with two battlebarges and a Tridente.
I used to think Gunboats were a useless ship class. Then I flew one for myself and realised that everyone else just sucks at it. I'm a total noob and I still kill every other gunboat I come across :|
Just like any other ship class, the ship is only as good as the person behind the keyboard.
' Wrote:Why do Gunboats have Razors and Pulse Cannons?
There is ONE, and only one anti-cap weapon a gunboat should have.
The Forward Cannon. Everything else should be primaries and anti-fighter weapons. If a gunboat doesnt have a forward gun? It is a GUNSHIP - primarily for anti-fighter work.
Say that to my PUUULLSSSEEE CANNNONNNS!
-insert pictures of me killing Cruisers with Pulse/Razor-
I don't have any on this PC though >:
