That goes for the biggest ships as well facing Hellbore cannons, unfortunately.

Well, the ships that are currently in can't slow down for the life of them, and their armor gets shredded in seconds when faced with HE weapons.That goes for the biggest ships as well facing Hellbore cannons, unfortunately.The Cascade ship is fun when chasing other ships though, which is a plus.Anywho, are there any Frigates/Destroyers coming with Medium/Large slots on them anytime soon?
I've noticed that Firestorm ships die most of the time not to weapons fire, but to the death explosions of other ships because they can't slow down and get too close.
I think there's a couple extra zeroes in some of these ships. Like the fireblast, the destroyer that has 1200 cargo and 800 fuel capacity. With low maintenance and burn 7 it makes a great freighter.
Eh, it's not so much the AI to be fair. I've seen it try to back off, but because Firestorm ships are so slanted towards forward thrust it literally can't because it tries to use the almost nonexistent reverse thrust.
