BS Shields

[Jamez]

The BS shield regen has been lowered too much which means that a VHF can take it down reasonably fast.

Thats not good.

I killed a BS in my GB. Thats a bit screwed up.

Can i get some suggestions about wht to do?

And i dont want stupid stuff like remove the GB.

Yea. The BS shield is just to weak now. Also can we make BS weapons a bit more powerfull?

This is my signature.

If we make the BS shield stronger, then go and make the BS weapons stronger too the shield will end up being too weak again.

If we increase BS weapons strength so that even the worst BS turret/gun is better then the best codename we should be able to get rid of the inferno BS turrets, then theres the question of what to do with the torpedo mount version of the inferno thats for fighters/bombers..

hmmm, Jamez, you were first screaming to get the BS shields weaker if I remember...... not sure though
but, please, let's get it straight once a BS can be taken out by a skilled figter pilot flying solo which is... well shouldn't be possible

The Outcasts consider Siniestre Nube a sacred place for several reasons.

Well at first in 4.78 it was too weak.

Then the regen was stupid like 7500 so i may have said it was too strong.(though i cant remember doing so)

FFS, im trying to make things balanced otherwise you lot would be screaming 'THE GUNBOAT IS UNBALANCED IT CAN KILL A BS!!!'

So gimme a break.

That is what i originally sugested for 4.79. Making BS weps more powerful than fighter weps that way. Its logical because a BS has way more power than a fighter, hence it is logical t oassume that his weps will have way more power output than a fighter. Also, BS turrets are the size of a fighter. Those should have eough firepower to cripple a fighter in a few shots.

well i was in that fight with jamez and i can say that that was one funnies battle i have ever been...i was in osiris...a ship with 2 batte razors, 2 inferons, 2 mortars, 2 bs flaks and 4 salamance , level 7 hull upgrade....
and i was killed repetedly by kusari GB.....
my osiris was in battles against 3 other battleships once and still it stood its ground...but now i was totaly owned by a smallest GB....

k bad aim doesn't count! I've been smoked in a vhf by every bs i've ever fought, if you can't aim with a bs than that's no excuse to scream murder, also with mk 7 armor, even if you could take out the sheilds your nvr getting thru the hull b4 u get blown up.

Kusari weapons can apparently eat through a Battleship awfully fast.. I've seen it repeatedly.

All I have to say is this.

1) Gunboats shouldn't be able to take on a battleship single handedly. a trio or three would do it. Not one. THis may be an isolated case where the person can't aim or something.

2) Battleship shields are already strong enough where a FIGHTER will take a bit to take them out. Gunboat is *NOT* a fighter. Please make that distinction.

3) If we increase the Battleship shield capacity, We'll have to increase the power of some weapons already.

I don't get this. First everyone screams unbalanced when the BS Shields are impossible to take down from a fighter stance, and the shield gets reduced.. NOW ya'll say it's still unbalanced when a GUNBOAT of all things can take it out?

:wacko:
