Are ships too tough?

[MarcusCogworks]

Sounds like you all need to play a little Crossfire Mod and see what fighter PvP is all about!:D

If my observations are anything to go by I would say fighter weapons should have faster projectile speeds and less damage, and if it was the case that they were not doing nearly enough damage after that you could go about reducing hulls/shields of the fighters.

The system at the moment does let for a group of 3-4 fighters to go up against anything slower than them and win, no sweat.

A New balance for fighters vs. larger vessels could work out thus:

1 fighter vs Bomber - easy win due to bomber guns too slow to hit

1 fighter vs Super Heavy Fighter - possibly even match due to slower larger hull vs. faster lighter hull

1 fighter vs light/heavy Gunboat - Fighter stands no chance

2-3 fighters vs. light gunboat - even fight, fighter weapons deal enough damage when all pounding away at the GB over time, but the GB has enough time to hit back hard if he can hit them.

2-3 fighters vs Heavy Gunboat - probably a loosing battle for the fighters.
