How about making the falcata into a heavy bomber?

[Mímir]

Hi first of all not sure if this is the right place to post, it is just something I have been thinking about.

With the introduction of the Cutlass it seems like the Falcata has lost its purpose. They have the same powerplant and number of turrets/guns, but the cutlass is faster/more agile and only has slightly less armor.

So my proposal is to rebalance the falcata into a heavy bomber using the praetorian powerplant and reduce its handling to match the praetorian, while keeping the weaker armor, so the only comparative advantage would be the Falcata's smaller size.

The OC shipline is great as it is, but there could be room for a heavy defensive/anti-capship bomber, and the falcata might as well take that place instead of becoming obsolete.

I would like to see another Barghest like bomber to be honest, so the Outcasts can choose from very heavy and light.

Agreed - if that matters from this side of Sirius. But really, the Waran just doesn't cuts it and I dislike the look of Barghests.

Agreed.

If that were the case you would have to scale it up a bit. As-is its a rather hard target to hit.

It is not that hard to hit anyway(Roc/Mamuru way) and it could just be made slower, and indeed good idea in general.

Official faction players that are often accused of elitism, never deploy them and have those weird, immersion killing "fair fight/dueling" suicidal hobbies. (yes, i've seen enough of those lolduels, where house military with overwhelming force on the field willingly loses a pilot in a duel. ffs.)

But if it turns as slow as the praetorian while maintaining the medium armor? But of course it had to be fair and altogether a slight bit underpowered compared to its Corsair counterpart, seeing they only have the one bomber available.
