Summary0015858: Pirate Ravens too fast, takes forever to kill
DescriptionThese things are kinda like how the Velocitors used to be, in that they just spend the entire fight zooming around and not actually doing much. It takes ages to pop even one of them, yet they're no real threat to anyone, particularly because they're zooming too much to fire at anything.

Suggestion is to lower their speed, but increase their weapon power, since the shots they DO fire are kinda... pathetic.

As an added note, I ended up doing auto-resolve (which I normally never do), to see what happened in a 1 VS 5 "protect freighter" mission, and... yeah, not even a contest. The Ravens are just wiped out even just doing that.

Not sure wether that info is helpful, since I normally dont use that option, but figured I'd mention it.

Thanks!

* The Pirate Raven flagships have gotten a complete redesign.
** The now move WAY faster, turn very well, and have some strafing time to them.
** Their shields are substantially weaker.
** They fire a new pattern of 7 shots rather than 5, with the central 5 being tighter and the outer 2 being very wide.
** Their new shots are fired more frequently and do more damage.
** They make an effort to park themselves in pretty close range to their attack target, basically pulling up alongside it and hammering away. So you don't wind up having to go chase them forever.
