Drone/Fighter/Bomber Balance

#12

One thought I heard before was to apply anti-Shield damage vs Missiles instead of Hull.

The idea would be that missiles are not armored but shielded instead. That actually logically could make more sense anyways since increasing mass with armor would greatly impact a rocket's manueverability especially in space where there is no airstream or friction. A small shield module could be lighter and more effective.

In game terms, this would greatly increase laser capability against missiles and rockets (and photon torpedoes maybe), and increase their usage.
Gatling guns would thusly be more relegated to dealing with Fighters and hull damage at close range.


Note: one good use for bolt fighters is that they are large and take up space. As such they tend to body-block enemy attacks better. :-)
