Capital Armor and Gunboats - RParade - 08-09-2008 I don't think Gunboats should be able to mount capital armor. That is all. Capital Armor and Gunboats - Doom - 08-09-2008 they are capital ships...so i think they should be able to mount them... thats all Capital Armor and Gunboats - frozen - 08-09-2008 I dont think this post deserves to be in mod balance. that is all. actually, no wait. this is what flood does. it breaks up polar bear families. Capital Armor and Gunboats - Dusty Lens - 08-09-2008 The smallest gunboat, the Bount Hunter Gunship is too small to handle cap armor under 8. With 8 she's insane, without 8 she's very very very good. She relies more on size and maneuverability to evade fire. Above that though gunboats need to be able to suck up some damage. A larger gunboat without cap armor is going to die very quickly at the hands of other caps in addition to bombers. Cap armor is an investment on a gunboat that lends to her survivability but does not make her invulnerable. I've squared off against plenty and never felt that a standard gunboat with cap armor is invulnerable. Capital Armor and Gunboats - Reverend Del - 08-09-2008 Well isn't this nice? We going to get some discusion on this? I doubt it very much. But I'll persevere for a few more posts. Capital Armor and Gunboats - Jinx - 08-09-2008 i m a bit torn about cap armour 8 ( i got utterly sick of trading when i got me one ) ... so on the one hand, i think whoever has it - deserves it. - on the other hand, it seems "reasonable" on a 750 million ship ( well, not reasonable , but as reasonable as is ) - while it "feels" somewhat wrong to slap it on a ship that costs only 18 million. a gunboat without armour is still an awesome ship - like most capital ships ( except battleships ) it relies mostly on its 140k shield anyway, once the hull takes damage, the captain usually starts to panic a little. all in all, i think its no big deal. - if the enemy bomberpilot is lucky, it makes a difference indeed, but other than that, it just takes alightly longer with armour than without. Capital Armor and Gunboats - Muleo - 08-09-2008 Gotta admit, it's kinda weird to have the same armor fit gunboats AND battleships :/ Would be nice to have gunboat class armour, cruiser class armor, battleship class armor etc. but again, not sure if that's quite necessary. Have to say though, cap8 on a BH gunship is a bit ridiculous. Capital Armor and Gunboats - ScornStar - 08-09-2008 ' Wrote:Gotta admit, it's kinda weird to have the same armor fit gunboats AND battleships :/ Never saw that but, that would be insane. however I'll never have cap8 at least not for a Loooooooooooooong time. As it cost more than a battle ship. and cap 7 is very nice just it chokes out the cargo hold. Capital Armor and Gunboats - Jihadjoe - 08-09-2008 I like the idea of more class specific armour. Fighter, GB, Cruiser, Battleship... It would make a lot more sense than the way we have it right now. I use a fighter mk8 on my one and only GB, that means it can soak up a fair amount of damage... but when people break that shield I do start to worry about the SN's flying in... Capital Armor and Gunboats - Drake - 08-09-2008 I think the real problem is with the BH gunship, not the capital ship armor. |
