Thread: POB equipment, documenting the heartbreak.
One suggestion I've heard, and like, is to increase the number of weapons in the POB turret.Give me the ability to strap four Null Bolts on that monster (two per turret)and the fighters can keep their level 10 loot cannons.

I read your post on the other thread where you called POB ships "light capital ships". I dunno, in stricklty old naval terms, you had gunboats, vettes, light cruisers, cruisers, battleships. A light cruiser would be considered the first of light capital ships. A POB ship doesnt even compare to the load out on a swg gunboat. I'm not sure what their role should be but I would rather have them more viable against fighters then smashing gunboats.
I agree that POB ships should not be considered a capitol class ship, or even a gunboat. They should really just be armed transports that can do a decent job defending themselves (which they cannot do now) while they transport troops into battle.
Unfortunetly, since we have no where to transport troops to (like boarding space stations and capitol ships or deploying directly to a planet surface), we are left with ships with no combat role.
