New Fleeing Rules

[Xanthian]

Why should it matter? "Get an escort" is something you should be saying to transports, miners, cruisers, and BS'.

Gunboats are made for self sufficiency.

Also, solo flying gunboats is a rather large part of many players' gameplay, you can't just take that away and expect everything to be peachy. Why should my fun be worth less than yours? There was a system that worked, and then the new one took it away. I'm well within my rights to voice my complaints about it.

In terms of balance though, gunboats are now obsolete against fighters and bombers.

Again.. Regardless of how you have used them to date.. Gunboats are protectors... not hunters..

The change brought the game more in line with the RP. Just because part of the player base does something does not mean the people that control this mod have to like it, or simply they want to take the game play into a different more team focused direction.

Gunboats were not designed to be self sufficient.. Simply because the rules in-place made them that way does not mean that is how it should have been.

You are well within your right to say something about the change, and we are well with-in our right to disagree with you and provide our reasons behind it as well.

Who knows, this change could be a pre-curser to something in 4.86 that will shift power back to GB's a little more...

If it always stays the same.. it gets old and people leave (more so then over a simple rule change)
