I imagine it would be over faster, since they're less capable of evading shots and missile locks.

....but if both ship are equally less manouverable

On Tarquinas they hosted a POB vs POB tournament, but required use of specially crafted MK I blasters. All other equipment optional cept missles. None were to be used. It was actualy quite a fight. Most of the battles took less than 3 mins even with 400 dmg guns. Of course we used our droid programs. I still have the trophy for that. It was all about keeping above or below your oponent and keeping him edge on to you, meaning he got to shoot with 1 gun I got to shoot with both.

With regular guns for PVE runs whichever POB shot first would win. The turrets on my YT are 4285 and 4250, with weapon overload 3 I doubt there is much that would stand up to that. POBs are hard to miss. Add in missles and such if you have time to get a lock even, just a lesson in futility.

I missed it

Yes yes you did, I was looking forward to meeting you there. The Pinnacle was ready. The entire tournament through 4 fights my tech sat around and twiddled his thumbs. Agock, the host, was the only one to even break my shields.

We once had a small POB war on Starsider. 4 Decimators vs. 2 Novas, restricted to level 5 guns. While we Imperials had them outnumbered, they had more experienced and larger crews--so while we were able to crush them in the first couple engagements, in the final one, they killed three of us while only losing one and the only reason they didn't win outright is because they didn't realize I'd swung our flagship into the shadow of the ISD to make some repairs.

It was a ton of fun commanding a mini fleet of POBs, though, especially when the fights would last 20 seconds to 5 minutes instead of 2-3 seconds. I'd seriously hope we'll someday be able to have that kind of experience without having to impose weapon restrictions on all the combatants.
