Not sure I want either now, considering I'd mostly be hunting gunboats. I guess I'll have to fight them on an even playing field *sigh*
How do you rate the Liberty gunboat vs the tridente/rogue gunboat/hacker gunship?
Im not a real gb guy...
I know for a fact that the lib gb can tear a hacker gs apart if its pilot is jousting you. if you meet a hacker gs with brains though, you may be in a spot of trouble.
vs a well flown trid you will struggle, but you can win if you're lucky.
vs a rogue gb you have a very good chance. it's nimbler than the libby gb, but has less firepower and hull.
basically, a lot comes down to the guy doing the flying.
But dont forget you'll be wading through cap 8 Ku explorers with full zoner turrets...
also edit: solaris bs is quite a nasty tool. if used properly. add 2 br and maybe a mortar and you're set. problem is lotsa gbs will just fly out of your (pathetic) solaris range and hammer you to death with pulses and br.
