Keepers

[AeternusDoleo]

This is why I suggest nothing above Gunboat be put on a public ID. There would be no capspam, as the Nammu is balanced fine, and the fighters are fine. VHF is broken admittedly, and the LF is strange.

The public ID would also only allow the indies to be in the Nomad Worlds, where Nomad NPCs are, they'd only be able to leave that area with Keeper/Wild escort.

This would rebalance the whole Nomad Worlds, making them as dangerous as they should be.

The nomad gunboat guns are one of the weapons that are heavily imbalanced. Doing more damage as the Cerberus for 2/3rds the power, and with a projectile speed like standard gunboats - chainfire them and you can wail at fighters indefinately. The nomad gunboat guns do damage like faction cruiser turrets, and you could argue that the gunboat is thus a light destroyer class vessel.
Nomad fighters are excessively agile and therefor hard to bring down when used in numbers.

Both these issues need to be sorted before any of these ships should go public. Balancing something for 5:1 is fine and dandy, until you end up with issues where there's 5 powerships present - and you don't have the 25 players to counteract this.
