I fly a Hammerhead. I make <strike>Failcata</strike> Falcata pilots cry. This is highly aggravating and unfair for said Falcata pilot and an easy payday for me.

I encourage you to discover the world of lighter, faster ships where the objective is not to EK and joust and rinse and repeat and whine because bombers negate your incredibly clever tactic.

Bombers really oughta have the handling of a gunboat, So they cannot supernova a fighter of any class unless its standing still...

For about 30 milion credits I can teach you how to never get SN'd again...

Even if we give it half it's current damage it would still instakill fighters... yet become sucky against battleships... It's a much needed weapon. Without it fighters have nothing to throw back against caps.

warans, barghests and fafnirs are nigh similar to gunboats, being rather huge and having a slow turning, yet its not hard to go on a kill streak (so far, ive had a 6 kill streak on my waran, and a 5 kill streak on my barghest). the fact is, if a player has a good aim, and the opponent is stupid enough to joust the bomber head on, he/she deserves to die to a supernova.

its not really hard to take down a bomber, just learn to adapt to discovery. if your in a VHF/HF/LF and your fighting a bomber, you automatically have the advantage of agility and faster turning. use that properly and you can make sure your enemy never sees you since you can stay behind them forever, taking them down.

also, supernovas a classed as guns (which is why they dont have any splash damage, nor do they have ammo, nor do they have tracking) unlike nova torps, which are slower and deadlier (if hit, 1-2 novas can disarm a cruiser, 4-6 direct shots to bs turrets will destroy them, something like that).

I have problems when I try to kill Praetorians with my Titan ... while I usually win in Titan vs Titan fights. So.... how to do it without being bored to death, shieldcamping, and hoping that there is no lag and my 1 cannonball tracks and fires without delay? How the frak Titan can kill Praetorian, which has 4 Coladas and instakills your shield when you try to look at him? Teach me someone :DAnd wtf can Titan do if Praetorian has 4 Coladas and dual razors? I say - run! :D

SN's are fairly simple to avoid in a fighter unless your fighting a very skilled SN user. As a lot of people have said, don't joust a bomber unless you know what you are doing.

There are a few players on the server with godlike SN aim, but that does not mean the SN should be nerfed, the players should :laugh:

I rarely die to a SN in my fighter, on the few times I have, I have nothing but praise for my opponent and feel a little foolish to allowing it to happen. The SN is needed for bombers to combat cap whore's so I don't support a nerf.

Not overpowered. A very skilled weapon. If you joust a bomber, expect to be SNAC'd. Deserve to be SNAC'd too.

For the Core.
