No suiciding. And lets face it, if you're in a fighter without bomber wings nearby, against anything larger then a corvette, yer toast. also piloting these craft will be... well, hard at first, and the first tutorial mission should probably let you get a feel for the craft at least.

Awww.

Oh well. Would be nice, though. A return to the scout-bomb days.

i dont think it would be productive if the player was ordered to ram a ship suicide-bombing it.

also, fighters are fighters, frigates (most of em) make fighters go splat if they look on them wrongly.

What about multi-gun corvettes? Will they be playable and equipped with automated turrets so player only has to evade fire?

[pecenipicek]

we'll think about it. its possible that we might make it so that the turrets preferably fire on the ship's target, rather than on whatever catches its fancy at that moment. we'll see if its playable, and if it is actually playable, we might include them as a player ship.
