LF's only need more class 9's... or we need a good class 8 missile of some sort, maybe the Firestalker could be just given a lower class or something.... atm the reason most people dont fly LF's is because "half" your weaponslots are well, too weak to make a difference
Well earlier today I tooky hellfire into Humboldt os I saw a whole bunch of LR two hyenas and a Bactrian. I tried to take out the hyenas. Bad idea, in the the end hyenas , udgements and living in Australia is asking for a ridiculously drawn out fight. So the Bactrian died before I was killed by a lib GB. My point is, right now LFs are troll fighters designed to dodge and tie up enemy snubs chasing them. Which is great, but if they‘re gonna be distractions, can they please be lighter armedd cos fighting LFs ho have Sammael in a judgement prossecuteor isn‘t fun.
EDIT: Okay extreme example but my point is LFs need to be lighter armed and more agile or be heavier. Not both.
Last time around I was a Member of: K'Hara|[HF]141|PFI|BAF|LR-
LFs need thrust speed advantage.
Also mind that "unique" armaments won`t work out, because logically - any other ship will (must) be able to use same equipment.
So, thrust speed and, maybe strafe speed up.
Are you sure itÄs not possible to get light fighters different guns? afterall, bombers have those aswel so iit shoud be possible to take one underused weapon class and transform it into "special -LF-armament" slots or something akin to that.
@Huggie: The Surveyor is one of those mean little buggers that see actual use with the Libbie and the falchion being other good candidates, though the quality span in LFs is equally broad as in any other class, just look at the Gallic one, no one would ever touch it with a stick.
To me, the question for the Dev team is if they want to rebalance (and if yes, how of course) or completly redesign the LF class( with more special equipment and clearer roles = this would cause the HF and the VHFs to be redesigned,too)

best way to "redesign" the LF class would to stop calling them "light" at all and call them all "interceptors"... That's their intended purpose as of today, and they do a damn good job at intercepting. Interceptors need one of two tings; the ability to intercept and survive till backup arrives, or the ability to intercept and destroy before backup arrives...
If their class was "repurposed" we could turn the MK 1's into the "dodgy survivors" and the MK 2's into those who *pick off the weak ones"... Both with paper armor, so their litterally useless against a proper fighter who are prepared for a LF fight.
i don't think that's the right approach swallow
the snubbies in general need alot more balancing, within their classes and between the other classes- simply to make the game better from a quality perspective and more fun for the players(all of them not just some cherrypicked ship-users).
Generally i hope disco will still evolve and doesn't stagnate because folks seem to be so fearfull of changes that might affect them in any way or cause them to relearn and reevaluate their gaming...
