OH Figbees

According to TEK (if I used it correctly) on cc16 for OH figbees:
77 m/s boosterless (22.27 m/s2 acceleration)
111.65 m/s w ltbooster1 (32.29 m/s2 acceleration)
115.5 m/s w ltbooster2 ( 33.4 m/s2 acceleration)
EDIT: Playing with the weapon config I can get slightly higher acceleration. But no effect on speed.

Yes. OH FBs do not have missiles.
To explain further: PW AB hammer 3 has 1k range and 2 lifespan. At 200 M/S (overly high for boosting even with LB2) this is a maximum range of 1200. At this point you have 1640 dps. A basic techbase has 30000 combined shields and hull, so 10 figbees have to survive almost 2 seconds AFTER reaching 1200 range to destroy the base.
On the other hand, if you had AB 2 (AB 3 does not deal more damage than AB2 and is actually kind of a waste of money), each missile deals 5000 damage to the same base. Oh and here's the kicker, those missiles can be launched at 1400 and still hit the base regardless of whether or not the figbee survives.
TL/DR: OH Figbees have to survive 2 seconds after getting in range if TEN MAKE IT TO RANGE to accomplish what 6 figbees of any missile bearing faction can by simply reaching 1400 range.

Don't find fault, find a remedy; anybody can complain.

Checked a few more factions.Spunkmeyer wrote:QUOTE (Spunkmeyer @ Feb 22 2013, 05:56 PM) Maybe they were boosterless
Do you see any difference between an OH FB and other faction in TEK?
Bios figbess same speed as OH.
Dreg and IC faster than OH (a bit over 10%). Dreg a little bit faster than IC.
Belters faster than OH, similar speed to IC. But belters can fit booster3 which gives them 176 m/s if I remeber correctly.
Didn't test any more factions for now.

I love all this BS stuff in the core "because it's Belters yo!"
OK, so your complaint is not speed but DPS. Gotcha, I'll take a look.

Want bigger games? Log on to play at the official game time: 9pmET/8pmCT/7pmMT/6pmPT every day of the week. Also Saturdays 8pm UTC.
They either need to be faster (so that more of them can easily get into firing range) or they need to deal more damage (so they don't have to manage to get a dozen massive, slow, and flimsy-ass ships into range in order to kill anything).

TF's AB Canon > all and rix figbees are known to suck. The last time I played with any of them we had cruise booster.
