Nomad Gunship

[TLI-Inferno]

The Nomad Gunship could use a buff. It's been nerfed from a gunship into an SHF, with SHF-like stats, but is still gunship-sized.

At first glance, its 8 guns might seem like a lot of firepower, but SHF's typically have forward-firing turrets that provide 8 forward-firing guns already. It could use a 9th gun; a ship its size needs superior firepower.

Additionally, it currently has the 39130/2350 Power core that is typical of SHFs. As such a large ship, it should have the 47000/2350 power core of a heavy bomber, the heaviest of which are still smaller than the Nomad Gunship. Additionally, it should be given an additional shared disruptor/fightertorp slot, freeing up its other slot to be used as a bomber torpedo.

Its shield should be upgraded to a Transport Shield to accommodate for its size. It would only utilize the small one, as the power drain of the larger shields would take quite a toll on its power core.

Additionally, as a "Gunship", it would be neat to see it utilize nomad fighter turrets, which could be created for this ship. It could have all of its guns stripped away, and replaced with a set of 7 or 8 turrets, and be given the ability to turretsteer.

I came to the conclusion that it needed a buff, when a yesterday a K'hara player flying one came across my wounded, low-on-regen mining Rhino, with 4 mining lasers equipped, and still almost died to me.

The anzu doesnt need a 9th gun.

What it needs is for the model to be scaled down to the same size as an osprey or spatial, and a second torpedo/disruptor hardpoint added.

That would be a simple solution, yeah; turn it into a typical SHF.

But, I figured it would be interesting to actually preserve its "Gunship" role, as something slightly heavier than a SHF.

I would rather move the SHF grouping as a whole to be more of a Gunship class.

Quite a few ways to do so too.

IMO the SHFs are fine the way they are. I agree that the Anzu or whatever its called should be scaled down to the size of other SHFs to give it a fair fighting chance, or that it stats be improved to match its current size.

This Galaxy is vast; its wonders and beauty are almost unfathomable. But the galaxy also hides dark secrets, some of which have lain dormant since the beginning of time itself. There is a danger in secrets, both in seeking and in knowing. Some things are meant to be hidden from view. Some mysteries defy understanding, and sometimes even the things we think we know are untrue. Some secrets should remain untouched.

I think Anzu is a perfect SHF, but compared to the other SHF in the game its just pure trash. It does not have 2 CD's, its like twice as big and much slower, and the few HP more it has don't help that out in any way.
