' Wrote:may i also state that whilst on my corsair char the other day after chasing a Destroyer from gamma with fellow Benitez, we were ambushed in Kappa by what? 2 destroyers and either a BC or a BS Bad form to the BHG| imo,
Yes we had 1 cruiser which came after the fight allready started, 2 bombers and 2 fighters VS 2 Dessies and either a BC or BS,
time to start thinking about what RP is eh lads?
It was a BC, a Destroyer, and a bomber vs 3 Praets, a cruiser, and 3 Titans.
And the B C said it wouldn't fire, only started firing when the cruiser on your side came.
And me on the bomber offered you all a chance to live by fighting me, and you refused.
Please know what you're talking about before you start typing nonsense.
Actually it was a 2 Destroyers and 1 bomber vs praefect, 2 bombers and 2 fighters.
2 bombers vs 2 Destroyers is now a fair fight actually. Either side can win if they do it right. So you overkilled the BHG, yet got blasted.
RP yes, the Destroyer was flying trough gamma without firing on anything or anyone. "BHG going to kappa let's kill it" was the "RP" from the benitez side.

BHG BS is currently 2 times the size of Osiris because of it's hitbox, and it doesn't have Osirises backstrafe capability as it should, since it is supposed to reverse and forward fire.. Also only 2 turrets fire backwards.
No... it's balanced. It has the best forward firepower of any light bs...

@Jinx: I prefer the overall design of your BH BS model, I think you know that. But when push comes to shove, I'll take functionality over aesthetics any day. If designers have already spent 100-odd hours on trying to fix the hitbox, I highly doubt any "snug-fitting" hitbox with all the bells and whistles can be created to fit your model. It just isn't worth the time invested, imo.
Instead, I suggest that BS be redesigned, based on the Liberty dreadnought. Like you already said, a cylinder. Boring but functional.
Well i personally don't want a cylinder hitbox on it. Why? Because Wasp CD can stop a ship with cylinder/cube hitbox.
I love the current model, but the textures feel kinda strange. If you have time/will/energy to model another one, i bet it would be way more beautiful.
I understand your concerns, Tic, but I would prefer cd-vulnerability over a hitbox so big, that the ship "swims" in it.
Besides, in most cases, the BS is easily cded anyway. It's a big target with a slow cruise ignition time. It's next to impossible to cruise out of a battle while being cded three ways into Sunday.

my idea :D
Jinx you do what you think it should work even if it need's a totally new design...Same for Tic...and when u finish it,give it to some BH testeres to choose which one they like more...
