Gunboat Balance

[Dab]

Okay, I'm at school, so no time to read the whole thread or see fi anyone already said what I'm about to say. Sorry in advance if someone already pointed this out..

Gunboat agility - will be equalized in the next release, so there won't be any gunboats too agile compared to others. Some of the gunboats with weaker hull will have higher agility, but not as high as they are now.

Gunboat/Cruiser turrets - Cruiser turrets will become more powerful than gunboat ones. You'll be able to check the final damage values in the next beta.

Cerberus - balance will be fixed, as with other capital ship weapons that were mentioned. Not sure about missiles though.

Cerberus for gunboats will eat up more energy, around 12000-14000 for 1500-1600 damage. Damage for all gunboat turrets was reduced 10-15%, so that's a fair exchange.

These are changes that are going to be implemented in the next betas/final according to Igiss (first two pages of Balance Thread).

Now the cerbs will be balanced so GBs can no longer rape cruisers. Agility will be redone so people can't take 1 GB vs 3 and win (BHG [old Rogue] GB vs 4 Corsair GBs won't be a win for the BHG GB anymore).

Cruisers will have more firepower so the few shots they get on the GBs (they are quite a bit more agile than they were versions past) will hurt them much much more.

Cerbs for Cruisers and BSs will also be fixed.

And before anyone says 12-14k energy usage is too much for a Cerb, the damage is also update.
