Can't almost believe people can live happy with it as it is.
Have you ever played Vanilla Freelancer online? That's how things were meant to work and that's how they should work. With a superstrong Disco bomber with 2.5x armor modifier, 100 nanobots and 100 shield batteries, you don't get any of that. In fact, all you'll get is boredom.

I'd rather like the chance to escape.
You're supposed to dodge the fire, not to take it. If you like watching health bars, maybe you should try LineAge 2 or any other stupid Korean mmorpg.
Even bombers can effectively dodge fire in Disco. It's terrible.
' Wrote:If you can, here's how to kill a bomber/fighter in less than three seconds.
Kill the shield with a mini razor.
Fire SN.
Takes skill. A LOT OF IT.
' Wrote:there are uber weapons like nukes, minirazors, supernovas etc. etc. which blow almost all fighters (SN completly all) after one hit without upgrade (poor vanila ships... they are blown with upgrade too)
It's funny bringing minirazors and supernovas here, because in my opinion they shouldn't be used against fighters in the first place. This however does happen, I see it quite often. And it's mainly because bombers are too tough which makes the combat extreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeemly long and people get tired. When fighting the bomber, you have to be very concentrated all the time because you never know when the SN/NT may hit you and that's very tiring. You can't afford to do a single mistake, which is nearly impossible. Because of the combat length.
But what if you're using a light fighter? It doesn't have any of these uber 1337 weapons, in fact it usually has a poor equipment.
Several times, I've fought fully armored bombers with my Phantom LF(usually armed with Hornvipers) and it was......pointless. There's no other word. It was pointless.
I don't ever want to be in such a fight again in my life. Ever. I'll rather F1 out of the game and get banned or something.

This has to be the funniest thought in this thread. Now please, do me a favour. Go and post this in every thread in this section that has something to do with balancing.
