be aware though - when i add 2 turrets - taking it to a "default" GB loadout, i will also reduce its cargo to the default size ( don t think i need to reduce the agility though - its rather large to compensate for that )
however... it is the largest gunboat with the smallest powercore designed for 4 turrets. if it had 6 - it might need a medium ( 500.000 ) powercore - which meant a serious increase of firepower ( for example the ability to fire dual missiles )
i daresay - such balance changes can not be done in a minor update - but only for 4.86 - when we got time to do serious balancing tests again. i am not sure if its really such a good thing ( maybe i m a bit consrevative in these matters ) - or if its not easier to scrape a more permanent deal for the hathor - at least for the CoZ members or the ZRT, i dunno. - problem is, i really never felt the need for a heavier gunboat myself - and i don t really do much pvp or are forced into much - i hardly got experience with the GB, except for sparring / balancing duels ( which are of course different to "real" pvp, cause although one wants to win in a balancing fight, one doesn t want to win as much as in a real pvp )
