Some people like flying snubs a billion times more than flying capitals. They also like (role)playing Nomads. Not to mention that Nomad snubs exist in vanilla, so lore isn't a good reason to get rid of them either.
Also, I like balance more than lore-based imbalance. Also, the Bastet is an amazing ship. It kills Nomads pretty damn efficiently, since Nomad ships are generally garbage. (:
Plus, the server population today has been 60 or less than 60. On a Saturday. I don't think making it take > 1 player to kill 1 player in a ship of the same class balance-wise is a good idea.
Mind you, I think asymmetry with certain factions' ships is fine. Nomad ships should be different to fight than human ships, for example. However, no ship should be objectively better (at certain things) than another.

I hope you're not referring to the rather well-balanced .86 Sabre here. The current one is actually better than that one was. Not to mention the .86 Sabre was up against the .86 EasyModeNyx.
