Because it's a multiplayer game and you're supposed to play with others in a team. That's why VHF/Bomber-squads are still so ridicilously successful, despite the fact your precious capital ships were made better.
So, for the sake of it, by what it reads now, you just can't face the fact not to idle around in your Nephilim anymore going "engaging red" at every Nomad you see, bc you know, they're the enemy.
Then you will ofc complain again about how overpowered their ships are, and how much your ship needs a buff once you've been scrapped again by the Nomads.
Now, here's your solution...
Buy a bomber and learn to fly it.
Get people to team up with you.
