Gunboat class miner (for all lawful mining IDs)

[Veygaar]

hire a gunboat escort and be happy.

^THIS THIS THIS. Instead of trying to change the game to meet your wants Kharon, use what's in the game already to do so --> Escorts/Scouts. This makes you happy cause you don't get pirated as much, it makes freelancers happy because they have jobs to do, and it give pirates more challenges and encourages team play by them. Then everyone is happier.

If we just keep nerfing pirates, Freelancers wont have jobs, Miners will go everywhere unmolested and bored 24/7, and Pirates wont be able to make any money at all. Then everyone will be LESS happy.


Work within the game to meet your wants, don't try to change it to fit your soul want.

If you are having a hard time combating KuEx pirates, then get a KuEx Freelancer to help you. You'll save money, and the FL will have stuff to do actually. Pretty fun for everyone then no?

They put guns on trains during WW2, but those trains couldn't take on an army. Same rule applies here. Economic and Industrial equipment is not meant for combat.

but trains couldnt go where they want. they where on rails.

Power does not corrupt. Fear corrupts... perhaps the fear of a loss of power.

Good luck finding someone in a gunboat willing to act as an escort or scout. That's somewhat OORP, too--shouldn't those ships have something better to do?

Also, are fighters/bombers becoming obsolete? I mean, if everyone's in gunboats, what's the point to flying a fighter?

To survive group fights.

Snubs have a thrust speed of 200ms and so can redeploy during a fight involving gunboats.

Um, no? If their offered the money, they'll take it ya know mate. Now I understand there's not alot of em around, but that's because no one is offering them jobs mate.

They don't become obsolete at all, 1 skilled fighter can take down a GB. 2 mildly ones can. 3 Can take down anything. Or try 2 Fighters and 1 bomber. VERY powerful combos when you have groups. Each ship has different uniqueness. My personal pirate has a Fighter, a Bomber, a Transport, and a Gunboat. All I use quite a bit. If I'm by myself and expect some opposition, I use the GB. If I'm with a group of other pirates I use the fighter or bomber normally. If I'm going solo and there aren't much military around, I'll use my Ptrans.

It's all about taste and the situation really, nothing is obsolete because everything is unique.

Well, for me it's a no brainer. Miners get pirated all the time, the evolution of technology -should- definately provide a means of defence if this repeats itself continuosly.

For those that didn't get it, I think someone would definately create a means to defend miners by themselves if the cause is obvious enough - miners getting shot down / stolen from...

And as miners evolved so do pirates no? But I do see what your saying. But erm... KuEx anyone? If nothing else, it still would be cool to see another generic GB along with the KuEx.

At least one more, preferably several.

The Hegemon fits that role.

Hegemon is good but not so great, took down one with a fighter, while having him and two more hegemons shoot at me.

curious thing... Yesterday i found, in fact a KuEx looking for some escort job... is that the thing, if you don't look for, you will find nothing....

by the other hand, perhaps miners should be able to hand some better guns,as the salvager... some harpoints for GB guns, but not all, it still being a mining ship...
