Gunboats & Gunships

Whast that the original purpose of GB & GS to kill snobs?

Murcielago

Purpose is to keep snubs on distance.
You simply can't kill thing, which's faster than you on 50 m/s. Snub fights GB, snub loses his repairs, snub flies away.

Well am siting duck now in GB, fearing to see some fighter since I dont have the speed to run away..like you do in fighter.
My only wish is that I can defend against snobs and bombers in GB, I don't wish nothing more or less.

You have some solutions:
a) Buy fighter
b) Install Solarises as aerelm said
actually, Solarises are WAY better than faction guns. Let's compare them with such cool turrets, as bretonian one
BretGB turret: 3320 DPS, 1020 speed, 12800 ECPS, 0,26 DPE
Solaris turret: 2700 DPS, 1400 speed, 11500 ECPS, 0,235 DPE
So... Solarises have 20% less DPS, 10% less energy efficiency, but 40% more speed.
Sounds like a nice deal for me.

Old BretGB turret 3320 dps, 1400 speed, 12800 pwr u/s compare to that please.

Who cares about old one?
You're working with things you have, not remembering good old days, when grass were greener and sun hotter.

Soo I see now yes yes new solaris are basicly the old fraction turrets whit 20% less DPS and less energy efficiency...
Well do someone see the buff here or am I just imagine something ther? Or not?

[Zayne Carrick]

Who said something about gunboat buff?

[Murcielago]

Who said something about gunboat buff?

I did in my first post on this tread.
Read again if u didn't or don't see it.

[Zayne Carrick]

Ye, you've asked to buff GB turrets. But why the hell you think it'll happen?
GB turrets were nerfed intentionally and I wonder if devs will change their mind by your request.

[belarusich]

I think that via buffing missiles gbs will die even faster than devs thought...

more than 1 kill per minute in shooter is cheating now :\

The main problem is that Basics or Faction Basics are now useless. Two GBs with basics will never hit each other when steering. I just did several tests with various GBs in Conn and literally the shields wont go down, the weapons are too slow to hit the other GB unless it's one of the few very large/slow heavies (although even Imperator can dodge Basics pretty good).

If you want to kill other GBs, you need to have Solaris to hit them, if not, then get Cerbs because they do way more DPS for only 90m/s slower than basics, You're still gona miss other GBs but you'll be able to put a hurt on Cruisers and maybe some snubs.

Right now for my the only two options I use is a Cerb/Pulse/Razor GB (For killing anything EXCEPT other GBs) and Solaris GBs (For killing other GBs and keeping snubs off my butt with the same efficiency as .86 GBs.)

Also, I would love to see a buff in GB missiles.... I like how they are now better than .86 but still think they need some love (just take a look at fighter missiles now :| )
