So the refire for the forward gun has gone down from 0.33?
Why?
A lone cruiser still can't take out a BS.
Plus with it's original refire rate you could get two or three inferno shots off before it'd fire a second time.
With fighter support to get in close and distract a BS the liberty cruiser should be able to beat it in a ranged fight, admittedly it'd take quite awhile to get through the BS shield and probably even longer to destroy it.
Whereas the other cruisers have to gang up in groups of two or three to have a chance of beating a BS before it destroys them because they aren't designed for taking out BS's.
