Guys.......let it be as it currently is. There won't be balanced and fair fight every time, one side will have advantage in skills or numbers. Making caps more expensive...alright, more powertraders with oorp escorts, more jumptrades.
Cap's speed? Alright, you can feel the difference in conn, where you actually dueling, and there, just a dozen of m/s (meters per second or something others ?) can let your fast and lightly armored dessy to rape something heavy like Rheinland Cruiser. Same goes to C vs BC.
However, in most fights outside of conn, when capital ships are in use, you wont see 1-1 fight, and not 1-2, so does it rly matters?
Re-balancing stat- adding more armour. Well, this can be good, if you ask me as a cap user, but I will say you GTFO, as a bomber pilot. Yeah, it's not so easy to decide. Capital ships, which are easy to kill by a couple of bombers.....who will need such scrap?
On the other hand, how many ppl should log in bombers to take down just a single destroyer.
Disco is more or less balanced for game, which originaly had only fighters to fly (not even transports). Just play, have fun and let others to have fun in play with you.
