Discovery 4.83 Beta 1 Release

[onca]

Ok, question. What happened to the Colonial Viper. The thing now moves like a rock. My Tiiadan Bomber moves better then that thing.

Can you please put it back to the way it was.

Yea same here!

I have owned a Viper for the last 3 incarnations of Disco, and I have seen it go steadily down hill to the atrocious state it's in now.

The Viper has the slowest maneuverability of all the fighters, and in a dogfight it performs very poorly. Looking at its turning stats (not that I do that kind of thing:P), the bucket-of-bolts turns *worse* than a Titan (61 deg/sec). It is only *slightly* better than a freighter (50 deg/sec). Get that... a supposedly sleek VHF that handles like a freight-pulling tub! Eight Nomad NPCs, kiss your shield goodbye, especially in an asteroid field where you're bouncing all over the place. Only your small hitbox saves you... whereas in the past Viper would clean the floor with Nomads.

Viper used to be one of the coolest & deadliest warbirds in Disco.... but now it's just a turkey. It's a case of a ship that was too good, and so has been inexorably nerfed out of the game. Breaks my heart to see it so. I'd rather have an Eagle or Werewolf any day. (right Dab?;))
