Armor upgrades is what truly breaks it, as you sacrifice nothing but cargo space.

If the balance team would follow any kind of sound balancing methods, you would balance more armor with slower movement or less energy output for weapons. Not just a pure upgrade.

I have now played a lot of PvP as Capships, bombers, light fighters and heavy fighters. Still capship battles are the only ones worth anything, since you can't dodge in a capship. However smaller fighters can dodge forever and have effective infinite health due to the games poor design in terms of PvP and free movement.

I was once a Heavy fighter vs a bomber. I outmanouvered him and unloaded tons of lasers, bombs and mines on him, for his hull only to take minor damage (as he had a high tier armor buff), so even when I do everything right in terms of aiming and hitting my shots, just because some guy has invested more time (which is money) and no skill is required to use an armor upgrade, he won. And that is so bad design I can't even believe it.

What other games allows you to purchase more health at the cost of just money? The only other games that has this kind of health increase with no drawbacks are games that are F2P where you have to pull out your creditcard to get the buff.

So in conclusion with all my experiences, being part of a raid and such, the pvp is still bad and the balance of the game is awful, armor upgrades needs to go as they completely break any kind of balance integrity system, but it seems nobody cares about that and will just keep on doing what they like, so I will just leave you to that.

A shame to see such potential wasted
