Alright, so Psych brought up a point in IRC earlier: The Viper Mark II outclasses the Viper Mark VII. I'll post what he said:
QUOTE [Sun May 11 13:23:56] <+PsycH[yawn]> andon FYI
[Sun May 11 13:24:06] <+PsycH[yawn]> the viper mark II
[Sun May 11 13:24:15] <+PsycH[yawn]> kicks the everloving @#(! out of the Mark VII
[Sun May 11 13:24:23] <@Wurfie> po po
[Sun May 11 13:24:23] <+[Andon]> Howso?
[Sun May 11 13:24:26] <+PsycH[yawn]> that third gun is worthless
[Sun May 11 13:24:30] <+PsycH[yawn]> its mount is ugly
[Sun May 11 13:24:34] <+PsycH[yawn]> you waste ammo
[Sun May 11 13:24:37] <+PsycH[yawn]> and on top of that
[Sun May 11 13:24:50] <+PsycH[yawn]> the MK II is faster and more maneuverable
[Sun May 11 13:24:52] <+PsycH[yawn]> not to mention smaller
[Sun May 11 13:25:21] <+PsycH[yawn]> to put it bluntly, in an MK VII I got hosed, i switched to an MK II and stopped dying immediately
[Sun May 11 13:25:36] <+PsycH[yawn]> by the end of our DM, everyone was in MK II's
[Sun May 11 13:25:46] <+PsycH[yawn]> because anyone in an MK VII was a flying target[/quote]
What are your thoughts? How would you like to see the ships changed so that they are different but still equally viable?
Viper Mark II vs Viper Mark VII
"South of the Alps and East of the Adriatic, paranoia is considered mental equilibrium..."
i think that if you fix the 3rd gunmount and maybe increase the ammo of the craft it will work
Get over yourselves, don't try to win arguments on the internet where the option of a punch in the mouth is unavailable
"It is not that I cannot create anything good, but that I will not." And to prove this, he created the peacock.
I've no idea but perhaps the 3rd gun mount is farther from center than the others.
