Half the hitbox?

But that would take away from the very important skill of ramming them to make them go faster! Although i wouldn't mind if you added LtBoost to bombers as well if that were the case.

I wouldn't say add the existing lightboost to bombers and HTTs, but adding some kind of light booster to them could do well, especially for factions like Rix, where they can't be rammed to save their life

Just because Belter Bombers have Lt Boosters on their bombers doesn't mean you stop pushing them, so the point is moot. If you give HTTs LtBooster, I'll call off the next Int Lobby rally.
The reason we don't add LtBoost to all bombers is because it's much easier to kill a base then it is to cap it.

sorry, i was joking about adding lt boost to bombers
There's still the difference in difficulty and the fact you get a free base when you capture rather then blow up, which i think is why HTT shouldn't bother having lt booster.

Make EMP actually useful, the ability to do some hurtage to their regular/light buildings without upping your expansion gives you a LOT of flexibility on how you do it with Exp.
Other than that I think Exp is pretty safe atm. It's good for early-mid game, and feasible late game. While not being overpowered compared to tac/sup closing.

I fully agree with making EMP guns more useful. If you also improve retro booster, maybe those two small changes would be enough to make Exp's tech tree appear bigger?
If EMP would be good enough against minor base shields, that would also make TTs useful, as opposed to "add time and money cost for HTT" tech.

How about upping the effect on station shield, and getting rid of AoE? At the moment the actually efficient use is for a clever int pilot to strip away the SS3 from my Adv Fig with ease, and then proceed to the murdering with miniguns. If the effect is raised, get rid of the AoE.

So add more use to EMP and TT instead of having them be 'too expensive and useless' and 'A step to HTTs' instead?
