That way the reduced booster range ints are more sturdy, but figs retain the gun range advantage of 600 vs. 400 meters. It would result in more flimsy figs as well. Where the range GA should go is a different thing. It could go to tac, and something from there could get swapped to sup, if upping fig gun range from the 600 seems like it's too much.

Multi teching is something I expect to see more since the shorter range ints need booster 2 to fly like pre cc_14 ones.

Why not just swap range and damage GAs with Ship Hull GA, so sup gets MOAR POWAH (especially with missile gas) and expo gets more robust ships?

tbh if we're speaking of fun , in ints I like to shoot and in figs I like to minepack.

minepacks are the most important element of dogfighting with a fighter and it's a concept that only a handful of people can grasp
even if your enemy doesn't even hit your minepack, it's important because it buys you more time to keep your range and fire from a distance.

Shields on carriers creates a docking bug, you can get away with it on ASS carriers because you can use thrusters to keep it in line, but with the AI, that damn thing gets buggy.

trac indicates that this has been fixed for R6. (#20)

K that may be, but when's the last time anyone docked a carrier drone?

They may be powerful in beginning game. But once mk3 tech is up they die much too fast to be worth their investment.

He means docking AT a carrier, not docking the carrier itself. i.e. the whole purpose of carriers.

Please quickly release cc14b with the heavy scouts proper probe loadout and any other simple changes.

And get it on planet and mach.

Thank-you.
