Max Payne	Posted - 2005.04.10 11:53:00 - [1] I agree with previous posters that destroyers came a little bit too late and the role they tried to play was already taken by AF. As it is now I don't think tech 1 destroyers can be salvaged, they're good VS tech 1 ships of similar and smaller size but they can't compete with a T2 AF. What can be done in terms of survivability is to reduce their weight even further and make em way more agile than they're now (probably signature decrease too) and in terms of usefulness give em a special function. I can think of a very good one - bonus to decloaking range 5km per level - this way a pilot with a level 5 destroyer can protect the fleet from incoming stealth bombers and with their fragile hulls a destroyer can shoot them down with 7 well placed hits ... weren't destroyers used for defending againts submarines... btw I gather comparing the stealth bombers with submarines is way more acurate... fragile hulls , but pack quite a punch, enough to down a BS.
