raven claw - too strong? - The Damned - 05-10-2006
O.k. Suggestion - Hammerhead should be done as proper VHF too. I mean capable of mounting and sustaining fire with lv10 guns/equipment. Actually that should be the only improvement. The hull may be left 7900 , and the agility the same too. And the Npc BH can use some dabiliator guns in their load-outs. Oh and red engines :P. Reason for suggesting this - the current hammerhead cant cope good enought with other VHF , piloted by NPC. So only allowing him to use 10 lv guns and equipment will be fine and meke it a fully VHF. Besides we have VHF versions of fighters less powerfol than the barracuda(as hammerhead is its VHF).

If we leave the agility the way it is right now noe VHF could beat it.

If he kisses 1 missle he is gone bye bye or will at least loose a wing or two.
He is the BH answer to the titan and sabre, he needs teeth.
O.k. Me and maruder tested the raven claw.
Now first things first. The claw charges engines faster than every other ship. I think the cruse-charge time should be normal as every other ship out there.
2nd - the hull capacity is fine , although the claw is almoust immune to millses(almoust). He needs agility reduction though. Its a big , major fighter so the Titans current agility is the agility for the claw.
The talon can use a lil reduction in hull (maybe around 9500 - as the eqgle or around) , and a lil reduction to agility - maybe capable of turning as blood dragon.
Probably slipstream could use agility readuction too - to make him around equial to other LFs.
Thats it for now...BTW corsairs are very tough :D
P.S. The point of this suggestions is making those ships reagular , and not best of all. There should be a ship for every taste , not just couple of great ships and the others are just for the number there.

If we leave the hammerhead as it is then it should be re-classified as a HF, currently as a VHF it's next to useless.
It can barely hold it's own with NPC HF's with a maxed out weapons-fit (4 class 9 and 2 class 8 guns). It's generator cannot handle 2 class 9 weapons let alone the 4 it can mount. It struggles to have enough energy to kill a single corsair HF with 4 class 8 guns and 2 class 3 (and thats without missing any shots).
It definately needs a better power generator to continue it's claim to being a VHF, at the very least.
Either that or it needs to have it's gun mounts lowered to class 6 min, class 7 max and be done as another HF, which shouldnt be done as the BH's have a HF already.
The raven claw is very agile, yes the eagle is more agile but not by much. So the raven needs it's agility looked at.
Before people start ranting about how it's fine as it is or how the talon has to be changed too, think of this:-
the Talon is a fighter so being fairly agile is needed.
the Raven claw is an assult ship so being agile is not nessecary, having firepower (which it has) and armour is more important for it.

Ahh that will make missions too easy. It should be a VHF.
Maybe a lesser VHF - with only 2 lv 10 mounts and 4 - lv 9 , but with lv 10 shield and equipment , oh and generator. Thats all from my ideas.

The Talon has barely less power than the ASSAULT Ravenclaw. It doesn't need 6 class 10 gun mounts, it makes it stronger than any other VHF other than the ravenclaw. And it has almost (barely even noticable) the agility of an Eagle. It DOES need balanced regardless of whether the Raven is or not.
