Make them less of a beautiful prospect please!

Not me. Belts are my favorite. Full sidethrust, more boost fuel, everything nans...I can't get enough of them.

Seconded!

Also, I think people don't like flying them as much because they aren't sexy, they are utilitarian. However, if you have a team of smart players they are uber! If you have 5 hvy ints with nan2 all nanning each other as needed, there isn't a lot short of caps that can stop you.

Hvy ints have no energy, so good luck nanning anything bigger than 4k walk.

They are not utalitarian. They are garbage. That's why people don't like to fly them. You can't whore with belts until omnis.

If you have pilots who know how to aim DF, you will be hard pressed to push a bomb run against belters hvy ints.

hahaha sealer, so naive.

/me remembers bombing vs 10 ACE heavy ints using 8~ heavy nans plus heavy bomber. @ 4+k.

Wait what? People don't like flying the belters? When was this? I love flying belters! MinerD in a belts enh fig is so much fun...

Belts sup is really good, but that's a good thing because otherwise we'd be stuck with the same problem that every other faction has: exp being better than everything else. I haven't been around for very long, obviously, but in my time in Cadet and flying for PK I've noticed that squadgames are either IC exp or Belts sup, and if you nerf the belters you're just making IC exp the only worthwhile techpath.

I guess I did see Drizzo com TF exp to victory against XT once...

Meh, I lead Dreg, or Giga into SGs! They are the factions for the team with balls!

What's your win ratio with that?
