Dev Post: Pirate Faction Cruisers

• Role bonus to Afterburner speed
• Major buffs to base speed and slot layout

Ashimmu:

• Infinite Energy Vampire (remember these are getting a buff as well, check the thread here for details
• Web range bonus instead of effectiveness
• Adding a low slot and losing a high – the low slot should be more useful in most setups
• Added drone bay/bandwidth

Gila:

• Medium drone powerhouse (remember the Medium Drone buff in the above linked Dev Blog)
• We expect a lot of feedback here, I’ll do my best to answer questions as they come, but the basic thinking is that this is new and interesting, very powerful, and frees it from overlap with the Ishtar (which simply does sentries better)

Vigilant:

• Keeping the web bonus
• Fixing strangenesses in the attributes by lowering PG some, adding some base speed to catch it up with other cruisers and finally giving it decent lock range

Cynabal:

• Went in expecting to nerf heavily and didn’t
• Extreme fitting freedom limited somewhat now
• Mostly the same old awesome ship

And here’s the details:
