I, personally, am of the belief that snubcraft and large capitals should barely be able to interact with each other, outside of short range fighter defense, and precision hits on vital areas of a capital. But in Freelancer, that is very hard to get right, and might not be fun for one or both parties.
That said, a new way of doing things can bring life to a stale meta, but it's very, very difficult to not just make everyone angry about it.
