Atarlost It is possible to change BH in a way that if a ship is attacked all other ships will defend it even if they have no vision on the attacker, it is also possible to make small fleets of ships, its just that i have not focus on BH much as its going to change soon, anyway.
Right now BH has mostly aesthetics ships, testing anything against them is not a good way to measure something,
even AI vs AI in creative mode is not a good way to test ships, especially fighters since there is no AI designed for them.
Any ship that is fast enough can beat those two ships, doesn't matter if it is a vanilla ship or a fighter made with the mod because at that amount of accelerators it take ages to reload and the DPS drops drastically.
Mass Drive is only overpowered against ships that are slow and has bad defense, same thing happens with vanilla missiles, against a slow ship that has no flak or pd.
I agree that the fighter weapons are a bit overpowered, i have to do them like that. My idea of fighter is that they should shoot with this powerful weapons for a small amount of time before needing to wait a a few second to recharge, a that point they should focus on dodging incoming fire or running away until the weapons are totally charged. Because there is no AI that support that, i had to make them use less energy so they can shoot constantly instead of sitting there and be an easy target.
But even so, these fighters are not all powerfull and they have many counters, vanilla shields is the most notable one because they have tons of regeneration.
I made this fighter to show you what i mean:
If you make them fight you will see that the dps is not enough to take down the shields.
This other fighter can also destroy it with its alpha strike:
Bombers has the ability to deal a massive amount of damage in a second, they advantage is that they usually can get away without taking much damage while fighters that need to stay for several seconds will lost several of them.
I can probably nerf fighters weapons a little bit, but not as much as not been overpower, until there is an AI specifically made for them or nobody will use them.
