Skimming through the last few pages, all I can say is that I'm glad gunner is getting these changes.

Kinda wish I had not spent the credits and time changing Copernicus from a gunner into a crappy sniper. And then a mediocre FC. But I might just start from scratch using my f2p bunch and make them p2p later.

Anywho, nice work. =)

Again, is there any chance missiles turning rate could be lowered? I think it would make them look a great deal better.

Halloween special drop vrs expensive built item ~ don't expect the former to be better than the latter.



This leads to missiles not hitting their targets.

Out of curiousity, how much of a shield bonus does the unholy claymore give?

Well, yes...But then they come around for a second pass. If you screw up and miss. It would make it involve more strategy and skill than currently, and also look better.

Could you at least throw a missile with lower turning onto test for a few days and let people see if they could learn to like it?

Tbh spammer I already have enough trouble hitting things as it is. Stuff like reavers where the only time you hit them is that small window when their visible. If the missiles just fly around slowly it'd never hit anything unless by coincidence.

I'd rather like to have my missiles hit in exchange for some (debatable) immersion.

Also AEM, would you be able to reduce build costs on most of the new factories? They seem a bit overpriced, large MIRV's costing ~4b per factory... At that price i'll probs only get the mirv and maybe 1 other. If you reduced them so they're 1bish per I'd happily go buy all 10 of them, or however many there was.

You're on SBP

Also, CASH SINK!

Being on SBP doesn't = infinate cash, quite the opposite XP

Also gunners already pay a fair bit for our stuff. Remembering to get a large MIRV crate. You first need to build large ap crate production, then manufacture crates, then build the mirv fact and they will in turn get you mirv crates. While I understand its a 1 off payment, if you wanted all of the large missile types, your talking at least 30b. Which is more than a few creds.

It's offset by the fact all your ships, unless you have a really specialized missileboat/gunship, have 2 augs max.

30b sounds like a good trade to not need a third aug....like an emp aug? Emp augs are not 30b.

That's a shitty reason.

I own a PBF.

PBF isn't a normal capship, though. Normal means anything with 2 augs. AEM cleared this with me when she flat out refused to let gunner have gunships without it being a specialist ship.

I shouldn't be penalized heavily for wanting an alternate playstyle.

My suggestion was more in the way of a rebalance of the class as opposed to the all out beef that some are wanting. The extra 10% destruction skill increases the dps of every weapon type, and it ALSO increases the damage of your missiles, assuming you carry weapons that match your missile damage type. That's a pretty decent boost without being overly broken. It also makes gunners much more valuable in uber runs. My idea wasn't to put HF gunners on par with zerkers in the dps department. It was to rebalance the class in a way that makes it more valuable in team runs and more versatile overall.
