[SHIP] Y-Wing Assault Bomber

[Kierany9]

Hey there. Kierany9 here with my second mod. Gonna keep the forum post short this time because I wrote a long-ass post before getting hit by a powercut. The Y-Wing Assault Bomber is a shieldless two-man fighter. Like the X-Wing fighter but with one more man. The Y-Wing has impressive weaponry, albeit unoptimized for battling against enemy craft. And also a pain in the ass to balance. Seriously, it was either ridiculously OP or horrible.

Gonna try this out. Looks interesting. Also, you should note what it replaces.

Ok, so I tried this mod and... I didn't like it. I died three times, once being shot down by a anti-ship drone, the other two having my drone control smashed, both my crew members suffocating because my O2 was shot and there wasn't a thing I could do about it. There is absolutely no way to avoid taking a hit with this thing, and if they hit your drone control, everything is going to get by. If I make a suggestion, making it start with cloak or having the assault cannon fire faster would make this more bearable, but as it stands right now, I just don't think it was very good.

Polite answer:
Yeah, the ship is very hard until you find more weapons. The Assault Cannon and Proton Torpedoes can't do much on their own. The X-Wing is similar to this ship but with less hull, different power settings+drones and starts with two Dual Lasers, which wrecks ships like there's no tommorow. I've buffed this ship a lot, especially in the weapons department. Proton torpedoes ate up power like crazy and the Assault Cannon's firerate was way too slow. I'll be uploading the link once I've tested it a bit.

Impolite answer:
Can't handle Ship Difficulty: Very Hard

EDIT: Much more bearable now

Here's a question about the difficulty: Have you personally beaten the flagship with your ship?

Actually, that isn't a bad way to judge the difficulty of a ship. So far I've eased it a bit more and am able to beat the game with it.
