Re: ESF's - Your opinion?

Of course they are powerful...at the top of the food chain though? I don't know. I have been shot down by just about every weapon in the game. I keep expecting some jerk in blue or purple to down me with a sling shot next...lol
I think maradine nailed it when he cited the benefits of air platforms in general, and ESF's in particular. In an airframe, you usually have the opportunity to get out of dodge when things get hairy. You really don't have that much wiggle room with other types of units. Sure you can duck into a room as a grunt...maybe that will buy you enough time to get your shield back up, maybe not. Sure you can use the terrain to mask your armored vehicle...maybe the threat doesn't chase you down and you have time to repair. Those are much smaller maybes than you have in any air frame. Your spoeed and 360 degree maneuverability are just going to give you a better chance of ducking out of fire in an ESF.
Of course, that isn't a certainty either, is it? (which is as it should be IMO)
