Make the Arrow a real interceptor - Ponge - 03-08-2014
Greetings.
I was looking at the Arrow LF on the other day, and saw it was classified as an interceptor. It is small, agile, very lightly armed, but I think it does not really fit as a real interceptor, becuase it has normal cruise/thrust speeds.
My suggestion is: modify the cruise and thrust speed (and even the cruise charge time), so the ship would be able to intercept and catch any kinds of ships, even LFs, and from a larger distance.
Something like this:
cruise charge time reduction;
increased cruise speed, like around 415 or 430;
increased thrust speed, like around 225 or 250;
other balance modifications to compensate this (ideas welcome).
This way, this ship could have a real specialized purpose, and could get a wider use.
Please post opinions.

As a pure interceptor 'Arrow' should be fragile alot like Starflier with LF Class 3 shield or huge hitboxes.

I agree on the lower shield and Hull, but adding a huge hitbox would make it pretty useless, no matter how fast.

Dont have to decrease the hull and sheild. Its already fragile as it is.
Add 1 cargo space more to the cargo hold!

What difference would it make?

Did they just reduce the speed? It used to get 399 didn't it? I agree it should have the speed, and since its so light throw on a missile slot!

basically, all LFs are interceptors. so, buffing 1 ship alone wont work, as it will induce 'bias' fights.

This isn't exactly on topic but am I alone in seeing the Arrow in the Gaiain Bomber?
Secondly (on topic) I agree loose the guns and gain additional cruise speed.

Nonono, if it loses it's guns, how will I pirate with mine?
