I wouldn't dogfight with Vulcan anyway, a good Hvy Int pilot will shred your SF in less than a second with a burst.
Game Over.

At least it would be far reaching.... I think a hunt3+burst of vulc2 would be nice... But then, it would also mean Laz2... Oooo

Laser can't be mounted on SFs, can it??!

No, but they can be mounted on Vans. Adv Tac = laz2. Laz2 = Vans. Laz2 Vans = Cheese.
And yes Laser Blossoms can be dropped by SFS (90% sure).
And wouldn't it be cool to have a laz2 turret on your SB? Noir! Make it so!

Nix roll is insane i would stop trying to avoid rix if the roll was similar to nix
dogfighting in a nix SF with vulcan is easy if you CAN dogfight

Ship stat wise, Nix Roll = Rix Roll, Nix Pitch = Rix Yaw and Nix Yaw is nominal. It is the Nix starting Turn Torque GA = +10% which makes the difference.

That was confusing, but i think i understand.
Nix just has higher turn torque? and as we all know no nerfs
It seems to make a huge difference to me when i actually need to use it for dogfighting.
Rix i need to plan ahead for how im going to roll Nix i can usually react and still have more than enough advantage,
if you ever cave to the people who seem to think nix is cheese i would suggest exclusively removing this 'roll torque buff' from vanguards

Originally, Nix had no turn torque perk. Actually, Nix had a lot of nerfs, but they were removed because people could not seem to win with them (I waited about a year before I really started removing Nix nerfs and adding more perks).
From memory, it originally had no Econ GA perks (+10% Speed & Yield GAs), a 5-10% Ship Accel GA nerf, a -10-20% Ship Turn Yaw nerf (all but cap ships, miners, cons), no +10% Turn Torque GA perk, no Mini-LC (Hvy Scouts / Vans)... hmm I think there might have been a few more general nerfs, but I'd have to look them up. Trans used to be easier to get too.
