I wish to make a observation about the new gunship the tridente. It seems the name gunship might have been misused in the naming of this ship !!DUE!! to some added tech an armor percentage that more than deem it to be a gunboat in (Example) The Bounty hunter gunboat has 96000 and the ship in question has 97000 an it has the same manuverbility as anyother gunship.
I respectivly ask that the ship be renamed an or resized or otherwise be vamped down to match all other ships of its class.
There is no discernable difference between a Gunboat and a Gunship.
It's a heavy gunboat/ship. Whatever you want to call it. Know that it will stay that way, too, unless the Hand of God descends and makes it into the next Red Catamaran of Gunthings. Quite frankly, I think it needs more forward firepower to compensate for its large size and the firepower advantage of the Corsair Gunboat, but seeing as I'm not flying one I won't bloody lobby too hard because I try to have a life.

instead of going about making threads asking ships that you fly/fight get buffed/nerfed respectively, how about you learn to use your "tools" effectively?
ill answer both threads' queries here.
the BH BS is shorter than the osiris, but is taller than the osiris. it has 2 more guns than the osiris (which has 12 turrets), it has much more forward firepower than the osiris, and can easily overpower its enemies.
the BH bs fights the osiris primarily, with a few corsair dreadnoughts thrown in when the BHG decide to raid the corsair homeland because they got too many caps to waste, and is thus balanced perfectly against the osiris.
the outcast gunship was made to rival its main enemy, the corsair gunboat, which has 8 guns, heavy armour, and low maneuverability. just because it is called a gunship, doesnt mean you should assume that it should be light.

Couldn't have said it better myself. Freelancer is a skill based game. Almost anything is possible, given enough acuity.

that is not entirely true....
and Trident is gunboat in every way, from the size to the armor and weaponry....there are gunboats with less armor and less guns and they are still named gunboats...
A few days ago i was fighting agains 2 tridents (i was in a vhf, so i got no chance, but i was buying time until the cavalry arrives), i was flying around the ship and shooting some paralyzers, most of them just miss, even if i shot straight to the front of the ship. The question is: WHY? it could be some bug or what? Thanks.
That might have some to do with the speed of the target involved. That is the why i hope the ship will be remade or renamed to match its setup as it should be (a Gunboat) hopefully
