Gunboats, as much as I hate the concept and execution of them, are meant to be a no-fire zone for fighters and bombers. Gunboats need a complete overhaul first and foremost, they can't do they role even with instakilling tools
feed them with solaris and will do the job. Ah, and a cau8.

A solaris GB with cau8 still loses to 3 fighters? This has been done over and over. They aren't good at what they are supposed to even if that very thing is aids
RE: Disgusting Balance - -Rax- - 01-24-2020
if 1 GB can counter 2 fighers at once, it already can do the job. Like imagine a bomber countering 2 caps at once, or one cap countering 2 caps at once.
RE: Disgusting Balance - Lucas - 01-24-2020
That is a subjective opinion, just like anything else in this tread. As I see it, a Gunboat should be dead meat to anything heavier than it, but delete snubs. At least that seems like what people were going for when making GB's. Right now they are kind of in the middle, good at nothing.
A gunboat also costs around 90x more than a Fighter, so I think being able to counter 3 is like a bare minimum. (Not saying more expensive should mean better, but in this case I think it seems fair)
RE: Disgusting Balance - -Rax- - 01-24-2020
We can just end this nonsense discusion without adding more arguments about that. Some part of the population hated snacs, some of them loved 'em. Now we're talking about balancing the rest of the guns and classes but, why for really?
SNAC got nerfed because some people with powers disliked it, that's about it. The rest of the guns will get reworked on how wesker or the rest of the dev minority will want, and I'm not saying it will be a negative change or a positive one, I'm just saying, it will be like that, and thats about it.
have fun frens.

You’re loading questions and polarizing the topic to sound right. You wont take amything with a single grain of interpretation. It makes you look like an idiot, stop.

Yea 3 optimal pilots and one clueless gb lol.

Turret splitting was a mistake in general tbh, but I would be happy just reverting gunboats to how they were before. I just want my 1 Pulse 2 Prim 3 BR Cap8 LHGS back

I stand corrected here. I think this stemmed from an internal balance discussion at some point wherein we talked about moving gunboat pulses to the standard slots, which I see no reason not to do. Would allow people to min/max with their pulse/razor boats again, worth discussing and testing.

I think the smarter thing would have been to never split the turrets, but instead increase the power consumption for raozrs and other turrets so that only two could be fired.
Gunboat turret split didn't have anything to do with gunboats being too good at killing fighters or too good/bad at anything really. It, like the turret split on cruisers and battleships, was done to force people to use loadouts with more variety. It did that, but whether or not that was a good design decision is subjective.
