New Fleeing Rules

[Veygaar]

Now that ships can flee all they want with absolutely no consequences, Fighters and bombers can show up out of nowhere, attack caps and leave them in the dust at any point in the fight.

Gunboats, which are supposed to be fighter hunters, no longer have any ability to kill (bluemsg or technical pvp death) fighters that aren't dedicated to fighting (since fleeing rules were the only thing keeping fighters/bombers to fights against caps).

In light of this, can we have more gunboat tweaks that counteract the fighter/bomber's ability to run? For instance, gunboat missiles with greater range and with cruise disruption abilities, decreased hitpoints for fighter thrusters, or a gunboat thruster speed buff.

*EDIT*

All I ask is that if fighters/bombers decide to attack a gunboat, that they should have to live with that decision :/ because there's there's almost nothing more frustrating during gunboat gameplay than getting attacked by a trio of fighters, then having the fighters run away one by one as you zero their bots/bats and much of their hull - only to get jumped by them once again after they've restocked.

My thoughts exactly

Thwen you and the BNG are doing it wrong, indie Order hunters.

Anyways.

Always have a few TCDs around. Best answer.

*points at fighter thruster speed*
They get away without cruising... alot..... they run from me all the time:(
