if beside the human fleet defending, those pobs have weapons that can hit hard a ship at the distances of 10 k ... i don't think it is a matter of perspective, since even admins assume that they were reducing the power of those weapons.
during the trade part i defended myself from a bomber on my frigate, and i'm not a good pilot, and when talking to that pilot,i assumed that bombers were nerfed. so ... it is good that people look to the other side and not having reaons for they are the only ones having fun. remember that when a door opens can be for both ways, today us and tomorrow could be yours.
