Okay, so we've locked in the bomber's use. It kills big ships, but littler ships kill it. Gunboats win, too.
Not quite, actually. I still think that the other smaller vessels could use some tweaking. I hear a lot of this around the forum, so I'll go ahead and condense it into one handy thread;
Light Fighters: Like little wasps, these are the guys who buzz around, nailing the bigger fighters before they can do too much damage; they would be classified as Interceptors, and as such, should be ABLE to take out the bigger fish. WHAT I PROPOSE: A buff to their power core, to match the buff to Class 7-8 guns so that Light Fighters can still take out their heavier cousins.
Heavy Fighters: A bit more powerful than Light Fighters, these should truly dominate the battlefield, with good maneuverability, a reliable power center and mediocre shielding to survive intense dogfights. They would be dubbed Space Superiority fighters. ESSENTIALLY, Heavy Fighters already fit this niche, but I think they could be tweaked slightly to be less effective against LFs, and more effective against other HFs and VHFs.
Very Heavy Fighters: They would be mainly support units, bringing in holy thunder to smite important enemies. Using this reclassification would mean for VHFs to become targets of opportunity, and should receive weapon buffs so that they are a larger threat, while nerfing agility slightly. This transforms the Very Heavy Fighter from a Space Superiority unit into a Support Platform.
I propose these changes because currently, everything is shifted to the RIGHT. With HFs being interceptors, VHFs being Space Superiority, and LFs being all but useless. This would make it so VHFs and HFs don't dominate everything, and LFs have the most important role of eliminating bombers, while HFs and VHFs duke it out as escorts.
IMO all fighter guns should get around a 100-200m/s projectile speed buff, now that bombers cant use them.
Past that, I'd like to see most light fighters get their CD-Only hardpoint changed to a CD/Torpedo hardpoint, so they can use mini razors and infernos.

Oh god.... Arrow with a Torpedo...
While being quite funny, your sig was the biggest one i've ever seen so far. No more than 700x250 please. ~utrack http://pastebin.com/SYQXBufs
A quote from somewhere on the forums in reeponse to Tenacity's idea:
Quote:The Liberator is the most annoying LF ingame to hit. Giving it a torp slot would be like mounting a nuke on an IPod and throwing it at peoples faces.
