so....

i have read many many of the hood, nelson, and hood vs nelson posts. A lot of which are
confusing because of the mixed dates (pre/post patch notes) but generally i get the
impression that the Hood is superior to the Nelson in every aspect EXCEPT armor and actual
size of hitbox. But there are a few more questions i have not seen a clear answer on, or
cannot determine what the answer should be due to mix of pre/post patch threads...

1. I have seen numerous R slot numbers for the hood, Trainworld and NF have different
numbers, which is correct?

2. Can the Hood equip the blockshotting Quads? ( depending on number, and again-i do not
know which numbers are correct NF or TW) If so, does it have enough "weight" for all 4 of
them, or are u limited to the front only?

3. I have heard reports on max speed for both Nelson and Hood. People lean both ways
apparently...and taking armor OUT of the situation, which ship has a faster base speed?

4. Why dont i ever, ever, EVER, see a hood in a GB? I have been putting extra hours into
the game to try to earm coins (which i wont hit :() and i have never seen a hood. i spend
time before each round looking for one, i know the model look, but can never ever find
one. Why doesn't anybody play them if they are the better ship?


Thats it.... Thanks ahead of time. Just needed some clarification with all those pre/post
patch threads out there.
