Buff the BioCom Vulture XT

12»

So, I think that the biovults slight decrease in turbo energy (rediction of 3 per second) and slight turbo thrust increase does not justify its high price tag. I have 2 suggestions:
Suggestion 1: lower its turbo energy to 55/54 per sec
Suggestion 2: lower its price

Do any of that then the faction required to get it needs to go up. Way up. 54 turbo drain would be better than the SVG. So the SVG would need a buff as well to stay better than the XT.

Please stop thinking.

I've always thought hat the XT needed some love. My idea has always been to give it a large port. Either one large and one small, or just one large. Maybe even take away some stats in other places and give it 2 large ports.

-1 to dual large ports.

+1 to making it a single large port ship!

the SVG goes 225 ms, the biocom vulture XT would still go 220, also, the SVG has other advantages over the Biocom vult, like more armour, and thrust. the TPG Craptor goes 220 msat 54 per sec energy,and the biocom vult costs like, 5 times more lol.

@xperia I don't know wyh you brought up the Raptor since its not really a fighter. The SVG is an interceptor, and should have a lower turbo drain than any of the other vulks. The XT holds no true purpose and should be removed from the game.

XT is a very good fighter weighing less than a corvult. I like it the way it is but I'm up for making it better. +1 single large port
[Edit] I was wrong corvult is lighter by a lil ..

The XT currently has no real niche, other than being inconvenient and out of the way to fly (at least for me). giving it a single large port would give it some relevance. Anyone have any thoughts on this suggestion?

+1 to a large port.

LMFAO... basically you guys want a swarmvult. I can't possibly think of anything more idiotic than that.

-1 to a large port

Putting a swarm on that thing would prove to be futile. It would weigh it down too much and it doesn't turbo well enough to run away.

What I would like to do is put a megaposi or a jackhammer on it.

Yup megaposi

UTTERLY POINTLESS. A single cwm performs better than a megaposis, and two suns perform better than a jackhammer too.

Besides, large ports do not go on small ships because they are simply too... large.

That's not true. Warthogs are about the same size as Vultures and they have a large port. The UDV is about the same size as a Vulture and it has two large ports.

Do the math of damage per second per energy. A megaposi is the best blaster in the game. A single large port Vulture would be really cool.

+1 for a single lg port. I have suggested this before (either in other threads or in 100, not specifically for the XT, but a single lg port fighter of any kind). I too want a MP equipped fighter, just for reasons.

Better still, a fighter variant with an inbuilt single MP (or similar) for the same (totally valid) reasons.

GUYZZZZZ
STOP CHANGEING DA SUBJECT!
ITS USELESS! EVEN THE VULTURE MK3 IS BETTER IN TURBO, AND THATS NOT SELLING IT AS A XTENDED TURBO (XT) VERSION!
