Gunmounts

this is by no means final. it is to get a feel for what others want as well

I shoot down my missiles too often with dreg.

Might as well take off the top gun as giga because it just wastes ammo..

I think, with the exception of the giga heavy, all the gunmounts are fine, because I think gunmounts are one of the things, along with hitbox, which make faction a's ints/figs different from faction b's ints/figs. I dont want them all brilliant, im fine with bios lt ints having @#(!ty mounts, im fine with dregs "pillar of fire" fighters and I'm fine with uber ic ints because that makes this game work.
I guess what I'm trying to say is: its fine for some gunmounts to be crap, because it keeps things interesting.

It's fine for factions to have gunmounts that are better or worse than others, but completely useless mounts are out of the question.

The Bios mounts should be a little worse than "standard" becasue of their heavy cloak - or, if they go without it, their increased agility. Similarly, I think Giga's should be slightly better because their ships are weaker on average.

The only gunmounts i would like to have changed is the giga hvy int and fig top mount. I would not go into such extreme improvement as giving them lxy mounts, i like that they are unique in a sense. but lowering them slightly could do wonders.

It would be nice to have the dreg mounts lowered as well, but I feel the giga mounts are the worst of all.

Weird I never have trouble hitting anything with giga figs except like TF ints maybe

Gunmounts need to be angled outwards slightly, then I'd have a chance of actually hitting something.

Gunmounts can't be angled. They're always straight forward. (Or, if the speed of the projectile is negative, straight backwards)

Well not specifically giga figs. Their mounts aren't off to some extent, but I meant the ints.

My point with dreg still stands though. They should be lowered a bit or whatnot. Shooting down your own missiles is hardly a unique trait to a faction

Funny thing last night I had a dream (one of the few i actually remember) and dog fighting with a giga hvy int was in it..
