Light Fighters

[Yngen]

Your buddy would be better off selling the swarm, they have been phased out of this version and probably do no damage.

There are 2 elements that the player version of the Nomad Fighter add over the original version which mess with its balance: the sheild and the torp mount. I don't know if the hull strength was modded when the sheilds were added but it would make sense to give it less hull because the original nomad ships had no sheilds. The torp mount made the nomad fighter a very dangerous machine back when the nova was a 500 m/s weapon, now you can put a mini razor on it (300 m/s) but not have much luck hitting fighters with it. So torp mounts are useless now unless you are hitting cap ships or mounting cruise disruptors.

I feel the guns and torp mount on the nomad ship are fine, however it should be hulled like a heavier mk2 light fighter or heavy fighter, perhaps around 7k-8k hull. It currently has 14800 hull, which is better than every VHF in the game-even the titan which is 13500. Another way to solve this problem is to leave the hull strength, or strengthen it some, and take off the sheild entirely.
