Should all main weapons(possibly minus shield busters) get a 1.5x (fighters 1.8x - 2.0x) damage buff?

I'm content with fighting as is, it's just REALLY LONG. This is not due to Damage so much as it is the fact that the bloody enemy keeps dodging like a nat. That may sound like a bad thing, But I find it a fantastic addition to the realism of the whole "Dogfighting" concept. The entire thing should be fast-paced. Unfortunately, for some reason, the Gun's don't go nearly as fast as they should.

Boosting speed makes attacking from behind (dogfighting) easier - this includes engaging a bomber as it attacks a transport.

I wouldnt go for a large increase off the bat. Start small, add 50ms to all guns and see how it goes, then go another 50ms, and so on, until the desired effect is fully realised.

I'd be completely for this, and even higher amounts as well. Also different weapon types should have relatively strong differences in speed. (Photons and Laser's should be Upped drastically to up the realism and balance their minuscule damage a bit, while Heavier things like Plasma and such shouldn't be upped as much)

My two cents.
