Unless you are dreg.
Voted yes to minepacks so it would actually e possible to bomb them unless they set up proper probes.
Voted no to scale increase, those gunmounts are enough of a pain for me, it balances the smaller scale out from my experience.

Increasing the bios fig size only makes the almighty intercepter that much stronger.

Bios Fighters are superior to Bios Ints, mostly because bios int gunmounts are worse than the old patty gunmounts.

But when your in a Bios int without a heavy cloak you can literally fly circles around other ships

Could somebody dig up the numbers on how much the bios fig was
shrunk in Dark Nebulae? Looking at them and trying to think back, it seems like more than the 10% tweaks CC has done.
/edit apparently not then.

With these poll results, I'd probably try raising the scale by 5% rather than 10% and see how it turns out.

BIOS having Prox mines was not in the game originally but added by Spunkmeyer I believe to give them some chance of defending their opening conns and the ability to mount a defense against early bomb rushes. For those who don't know or don't recall, until prox mines were added to BIOS basic fighters they were the easiest faction to beat at the start of the game by far.
We used to see a BIOS game last 8 to 10 minutes before their starbase was destroyed all the time.

Thx to Adept:
Changes on BIOS Fig from DN_000001 to DN_000460:
Changes on BIOS Fighter:
Allowed to use ProxMinesIncreased Pack size from 1 to 2Fuel increased from 8/10/12 to 11/14/16 (Std/Enh/Adv) (because they carry the weighty HvyCloak?)Reduced mass by 3/6/9 (Std/Enh/Adv) (like BIOS Int 2/4/6 (Lt/Std/Hvy), because these ships carry HvyCloak)
Now to another interesting change:
HvyCloak:
HvyCloak 1 mass reduced from 10 to 8HvyCloak 2 mass reduced from 10 to 6
