Both are still very viable, reliable ships, but as technology continues to improve in the colonies, the Eagle and Sabre might start to become outdated in the eyes of groups.
and sairs have to stick with the titan... slow, mine-sucking, energy-hungry gunned titan
Actually the Titan is buffed and for such a heavy fighter it out turns both eagle and sabre, which does not make sense?
For all the balancing devs tried to do, they actually screwed up the most basic fighter mechanics! Such nerfs are intentional as many here were QQing when for e.g the Eagle on Disco did have vanilla stats they were being pwned coz the eagle out turned everything and newb PVP'rs couldn't keep up.
Seems if you moan hard enough you can get anything nerfed, hence eagle has never been the same again.
