Point of interest: I have no vested interest in requesting the gunship to get "fixed". I fight on the other side now, but I'd like the BH to have some fun as well.
With the guild core having basically "unlimited" resources, you'd think they'd design more powerful and better functioning ships, eh?
I reckon give the Battleship more power/armour. The battlecrusier seems fine (I remember someone saying its for front assaults only). Haven't flown anything else, so I can't comment.
Just a little buff is all that's needed to bring them in line with the rest of the capital ships.
Sadly, a BHG GS with 6 foreward firing guns would be what is refered to in the buisness as a 'pwnmobile', it can turn almost as fast as the barghest, with double the armour, and more anti fighter capabilities.
If you are in search for a powerful GB, may i point you no further than the orca, just last week, while i was infected by a nomad in NY, my orca and a voidrunner (an LSF bomber showed up during the fight) took on and obliterated a CAU 3 rogue dessie, i didnt even lose my sheild. This was all thanks to the immensly powerful foreward gun, not any ammount of skill, just the fact that the ship is made/equipped for that, which minces other GBs/cruisers.
It is all a matter of how you use your ship, that said, it is near impossible to use a BHG BS well enough to beat a legate, so therefore, id say it deserves a buff.

A good point about the BH gs. I figure that if the 2 aft turrets were unlocked you would still have to deal with the fact that the gs's power plant will limit how much you can "pwn" with it. Sure, you could pray and spray with 6 turrets - but not necessarily for very long. Especially if you decide to use some specialty weapons.
As far as the BH BS goes, it really doesn't need a buff per se. It needs a fixed hit box.
The BH BS wasn't really designed to go toe-to-toe with something as massive as a Legate. Its primary opponent is the the Osiris, which is also a light BS.
With bounty hunter caps at this strength, I can actually fire at them before I die.
But if the game is made fair again, I'm never going to even see the enemy before they kill me.

"Ohh and I own one and in one."?
Cryptic stuff indeed, even from you:
I'll decrypt it for you:
Mjolnir (paraphrased) Wrote:I own one and I own in it.
Now, that we are clear... The GS would mostly gain the chance to have a more universal loadout from having 6 forward-facing turrets. It would also get an increase in firepower. Especially for short-time bursts, not that much in sustained firepower. What's most important, it doesn't need it all. It's already an excellent ship.
(Oh, and I own one as well. I don't really own in it, but that's just my lacking GB skills. I'm decent though.)
