' Wrote:Good luck finding someone in a gunboat willing to act as an escort or scout. That's somewhat OORP, too--shouldn't those ships have something better to do?
Um, no? If their offered the money, they'll take it ya know mate. Now I understand there's not alot of em around, but that's because no one is offering them jobs mate.
' Wrote:Also, are fighters/bombers becoming obsolete? I mean, if everyone's in gunboats, what's the point to flying a fighter?
They don't become obsolete at all, 1 skilled fighter can take down a GB. 2 mildly ones can. 3 Can take down anything. Or try 2 Fighters and 1 bomber. VERY powerful combos when you have groups. Each ship has different uniqueness. My personal pirate has a Fighter, a Bomber, a Transport, and a Gunboat. All I use quite a bit. If I'm by myself and expect some opposition, I use the GB. If I'm with a group of other pirates I use the fighter or bomber normally. If I'm going solo and there aren't much military around, I'll use my Ptrans.
It's all about taste and the situation really, nothing is obsolete because everything is unique.
