Exactly, point is that it can do high shield damage.
I didn't ask for it to be able to instakill fighters/bombers, far from that.
Just if you are goin' near the Station in your shiny GB+ ship, you are going to take some beating.
Nothin' wrong with that.
Thanks, Mjolnir.

As a player who was in Minor for a huge time in his past 2 years, I have to tell this;
At a normal time where you DON'T have 200/200 players, lets say, normal being 120-140, while flying from Alien Gate to Isis, you encounter at least 20 ships, sometimes gunboats and cruisers as well in a single VHF. When you encounter these with an Ossie, sure, no problem, but when you are in your Bastet and suddenly being surrounded by seriously powerful NPCs with CDs and firepower, you get bashed and smashed. Yes, you can kill all except the cruiser but then in the end you get a damaged ship, need to buy mines and torpedos and all that and lose serious money and all. Not every player has time to do power trading and all to feed their other chars. And if they did, you would probably troll about it too.
Therefore, before giving examples, try to avoid Discovery's no:1 trait about talking without thinking the other side of things.
About the Cali / Java thingy. People are so focused on smashing each other there, I managed to pass through with a Carrier and 2 escorts without being noticed. Its like a very condensed area has lots of conflicting guys and the rest of the system being a child park.
And if a depot gets raided too much, they install better security measures, this would probably be the first reaction of the depot owner. Even military HQs when they get attacked, first increase the security measures and defences, then go offensive.
Please don't oppose something for just the sake of opposing it.
I'd not mind moving Java a bit closer to the mining field. OC get their smuggling routes less harassed, and the miners can retreat more easily if pirates show. Add a few turrets and a few better station guns for defensive purposes, and this becomes a moot point. I believe this is already being put in the next mod as the request from IMG to improve those defenses was made.
