Can't agree with you on goup fights, Govedo.
Group fights aren't that hard, really. You usually don't bother yourself about outmaneuring, you just shoot at your target.
I suppose most people can't do good in group fights because they are desperately trying to track the crosshair, which isn't right.
Instead of 1*1 PvPs in Conn, try chasing someone.
On the other points...
- Death penalty would lead to less PvP in general - that's bad.
- Transports don't need to have better weaponry, they need to hire escorts. Though, some steps could be implemented to encourage this. Such as transport thruster speed lowering, and hull strength buff.
- Medium bombers aren't much different from the light ones.
- Battleships could play tactical role IF cargo requirements of special modules were lowered, allowing cloaking carriers (such as original Osiris), docking modules capacity could be increased too. But with today's rule loopholes battleship cloaks are just cheap non-die modules, used for multiply reengagements.
