Huegenots

[Nightfall]

I'm really getting tired of the witchhunt of ALL Huegenot pilots.  Not to mention the fact that it's hard enough as it is to be a pirate on the server...I won't even open up that can of worms!

I don't want to see it go, I love the ship (I got 3, one of them is for NPCs and Exploring properly equipped... well, the other two... until I don't see CUFF straighten out... bad chance of putting back the Cr shields)

A kind of quick-fix for the huggy hitbox problem until it can be properly fixed:

Lower the hull capacity of the Huegenot.
So when you do hit, it hurts more. But keep the cruiser shield on.

Also maybe a little handling decrease. Only very slight.

... and it becomes like the Battlestar Adv. - a huge unusable brick that can't fly decently! No way, sorry Jamez, too radical!
The handling is OK, it should be able to navigate the rock fields in the Omicrons and Omegas with ease as it is a PIRATE CRUISER and only PIRATE CAPSHIP except the Osiris that is only sold by te Order. And being made as such - an answer from the Outcasts to the Corsairs having Osirises (spelling?!), and being made FOR use in the border worlds, it should keep the handling.

Advantages of the Huegenot: 
    14 turrets, no other cruiser has this
    Huge energy pool (guns rarely use up the energy)
    Highly manueverable
    small hit box thus, hard to hit
    looks cool!

Possible solution:
    Make the Huegenot a battleship
    In crease it's mass and hit box size
    Now the ship turns like a battleship, has the same number of turrets as a
    battleship and, a similar sized hit box. 
    It seems like this would take the least amount of modifying.

The hitbox is small, I agree, but if you know where to aim, not such a problem.
Make it a Battleship... that won't work because of other implications (ie. has to be bigger, lower maneuveability...)

Regardless of any other arguments, the hitbox on the Huegenot does need to be fixed. I have seen the effects myself and I really do not go sniffing for PvP much. What puzzles me is that NPC Huegenots seem to be fine as far as I can tell.

Not quite, the NPCs don't dodge. :) Try to hit one in the front 1/3 it'll go through it.
