' Wrote:Well some people dont like to loose from others with equal skills due to the game mechanics.......
So what really happens is what Faith Zane said- take other GB or dont fly GB....:crazy:
*sighs* Well...I think the Orca is a fine GB, but sucks against bombers and yesterday I fought with a guy who used one. I made him mad because he didnt understand how can I hit 4-5 pulse while he just try to turn around. So the hacker GS has a fine agility and if you could use it well, its compare with other gs/gb. But well...as I sad, I'm not well experienced in GB fighting, so it is just my view on this topic.

Nope. It looks strange with this strange colour. And I cannot see any windows on it.

Smokey is not right. I have soled LABC in Hacker Gunship.
a) You are comparing it to what ship? A liberty gunboat? God man, use some logic. Why dont you compare it to a Bottlenose which is also a GUNSHIP, and not a GUNBOAT. It is bigger than the Bottlenose, and therefore it has 10k more armor than the Bottlenose with very similar agility.
b) Thats not possible unless the LABC has a crappy armor upgrade and is standing still (without even shooting), so why even mention it other than to try and look good because you killed some newbie.

I dont think its going to replace the current Hacker gunship. I believe its coming in as a new model for the [HF] only.
Correct. It is not a replacement, but a new ship entirely.
I believe the plan was for a seven gun heavy gunboat, but I don't know the specifics at the moment.

' Wrote:a) You are comparing it to what ship? A liberty gunboat?
I compare it with the Gunboats that I stated on my previous post- Rogue GB, Heimdail, Kusari GB and Claymore. It is useless to compare it with 500k core ship since the Hacker one have 400k and it is other type of ship.
' Wrote:Why dont you compare it to a Bottlenose which is also a GUNSHIP, and not a GUNBOAT.
Bottlenose is very specific ship- It is good against small crafts but fail against the bigger ships or other Gunboats, it is rather exception then the standard gunboats, like the Ku destroyer- beast against other caps but poor against smalls. And the 10k more hull is a bad joke... since the bottlenose is 4 times smaller and we both knows what is more important- not the damage output or the hull stats but size and agility...
And you still make the mistake to compare ship names with their stats. As I told you:
Rogue Gunboat? Outcast Gunship? Or Outcast Gunboat and Rogue Gunship?...... Names are well just names they are more then irrelevant...

Well it is possible... the LABC was new pilot and had no armour... but I gave you this example to show you exactly that the pilot skill and the ship balance doesn't matter and such examples are irrelevant. And yes it doesn't looks good when you gave example with yourself flying circles in hacker GS with CAU6 around Liberty GB with CAU8 - indeed it doesn't look good because you killed some newbie...

' Wrote:cap6 hacker gs vs cap8 liberty gunboat ? In order for liberty gunboat to lose pilot must be utter fail with gunboats.
The overwhealming majority are... And will actively run from a fight with another gunboat, prefering to only shoot at lone fighters or bombers.
However... I own an LH GS, and it's actually a rather good GB dueling ship, provided you keep sliding, and don't get hit too much. Your turn speed can really work to your advantage.
As for improvements, I'd suggest giving it 350 bots and batts, like other ships of it's size, and maybe increasing it's cargo hold a touch, so you can have a fewe GB weapons on board for testing a bit, while mounting a cap8.
