New Light fighter initiative

[KataMae]

i'm not sure if this might be an other issue but :

if a fighter have better speed, will not it make CDs useless ?
What do you think ?

[Lancelot9]

Fly a Light fighter. They are useless as is. Increasing their speed won't make CD's useless as they still travel faster than any conceivable LF speed upgrade.

?
i thought all ships had the same speed. Was i wrong ?

what i meant is,
i you are followed, no matter how hard you try, you can't escape without cruising.
But with a better speed, you might avoid the cruise and flee ? Isn't it ?
oh well...
since fleeing is useless :/

Hahah yes indeed, well fleeing is death, but as is, the LF just dodges around people's shots anyway. No real chance to kill them.

LF's aren't used much and need to have a buff to make them a bit more attractive (with a specific role). Giving them a bit more speed will allow them to act as better scouts and enable charges of the light brigade.

You were right though, currently all ships have the same max cruise speed I believe (with exception of barge??). Engine and Thrust speed is different from ship type to ship type.

How about increasing LF's shield class?As far as i know no LF have class 10 shield.About fighting ability,i can't realy say much because i suck in combat to an extend where not even handful of admin canons can help me.But theoreticaly,for example Scimitar(in top 5 in terms of guns and armor) have 4+1 guns while most VHFs have 6 or 5+1(1or2 class higher),well LFs have less armor and guns while having more agility,but is their agility THAT better? Having same speed, staying out of vision angle is impossible.

Yeah the agility is seriously better. They can turn on a dime. Absolutely amazing. But yes shield class could be improved a little. Currently if you fly through a minefield you are likely to die...

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.)

For the purpose of making LF more attractive, i would say like another current thread :
delete the flee = death rule
i don't understand it.
