I've fought Wraiths and most of the Liberty ships in my various guises and I know who I fear more.
Now, you could say it's the difference in the guns which is part of it but the profile of that Wraith is a damn hard target for me.
I think you should leave that little fighter alone. It's hard enough as it is.
If it's only got five guns, I'd hate to imagine it with six.
Targeting is according to a guy who piloting that ship, its very difference from person to person you know. Someone know the most weakened places on his ship and he trying to make it more impossible to use against him.
Anyway, its all about FEELINGS, you really feel yourself in heavy fighter when flyjg Wraith VHF, but if you get Osiris you will find that feeling from flying it is close to medium transport that is not correct at all.
Feeling Feeling Feelings Feelings.
Only real tests are probably could help.
Anyway, lets nerf saber then =) Why not? BW VHF wtf powerfull now, ist it? And those Krakens D:
And in returning back to Wraith, im really dont want to change the vanilla weapon load too, but that frontal turret (central) is making me WAARRRGH, i hate that hardpoint 8(
Yes thats rheinlandish and I do it with a reason!
We are talking about the Wrath or Wraith here not about guardinas or other ships.
Mjolnir came up with a nice sugguestion and he already tried to implement it as you can see in his nice picture.
We have talked with each other and in the RM chat to get lots of impressions regarding the Wrath.
The main conclusion about it is that the Wrath maybe do not need a 6th gun or even the turret firing forward, if the effects get a slight change. It is possible that this change is all that is needed to make the Wrath with hornvipers more effective.
Since a Wrath with 5 codes is working quite well if you are decent with code weapons.
Adding a 6th gun would cause a lot of balance trouble to the ship.
Therefore working on a single gun could do the ship best.
Thats Mjolnirs volunteered job and I am sure he does great in solving this problem.
His solution examples are already verry good in my eyes.
