Those must be some pretty horrible fighter pilots, then.

Nah, let the Snac and make the Nova better.
You only have a small amount of time to hit a Cruiser with a Nova. The shield is mostly going up again before it hits. And even when it hits...It's not really worth to try firing a Nova.

two bombers with sufficent aim can take down anything. however, two bombers against a battleship with Cap IV is going to be a long battle. let alone cap VIII.
two bombers against a gunboat is biased in favor of the bombers. and in some bombers you can solo gunboats. and cruisers.
in the end. everybody dies. it doesent matter if it takes one bomber, or a swarm of juggys to do it. it happens.
dont complain. dont whine. dont bitch. and most of all, dont forget.
Space shooter.

' Wrote:Those must be some pretty horrible fighter pilots, then.no they are not but in batlle when you do not know what is gooing 4-6 Bombers are able to mop up cap. ships FAST like hell. VHF (even 2 on one!) can only teke down shilds and scrath the armor. I `ve seen many ace fighters tring to protect cap ships AND IT IS USELESS!
Why when it comes to fight bombers Cap`s are called off?
Becouse they last for few minutes and they go BANG! After that Fighters and Bombers strugle for about 1h to take down agresors.
On another way cap. ships batles are quite fast (about 5-8 minutes to take down another cap ship). Why? Becouse cap ship is LESS agile and is bigger target and those turets have high velocity. It is easier to fight cap. vs cap then try to fight in fighter when you can doge almost EVERY SHOT.

I dont really know about cap ship fighting , but there is another reason snac should be nerfed in some form. Its being used as a dogfighting insta-kille weapon. Yes, I know, you can just out-turn and stay behind the bomber, or just wait for your shields to recharge aboe 50% before you joust him again. But that drags out fights.. its like 3 times longer if you do that, not to mention it requires shiledrunning, which makes people very annnoyed.
Do something that makes it being used as a dogfighting weapon harder. Insta-killed by snac is just bad ballancing. NOw I'm waiting for he 'omg-u-should-just-get-some-skill-noob' replies, but if you keep if like that dont complain about shoeldrunning.

I've seen many Fighters killing many Bombers. I've seen many Bombers killing Bombers. I've seen many Cap-Ships killing Bombers. I've seen many Bombers killing Cap-Ships. I've rarely seen Bombers killing Fighters.
I hit a fighter with a Snac two times now. In my entire Playtime. And both times it was only the shield. Only really good Bomber Pilots can take down a Fighter with a SNAC. Dont whine about it, please.
SNAC and Nova - Boss - 08-16-2009
There is context for the whining...it occurred last night. Not going to repeat it though, it's on the forums.
SNAC and Nova were balanced. Leave them alone.

This old chestnut.
Its a game of Paper, Scissors, Stone
I vote NO

Orly? So far the only GB I haven't been able to solo in my Waran is the Gaian Claymore (that thing is so annoying) and I've fought Outcast, Corsair, Order and IMG GBs recently.
We will have to have a go you and me...
SNAC and Nova - Benjamin - 08-16-2009
Yeah I solo'd a waran without losing shield in my RHGB
