What if...

[Armageddon]

That would lead to epic fights actually. 2 bombers could still technically take a BS. By destroying all its external equipment and leaving it completely crippled. Only problems i can see here is.

1. Regens would have to be upped a lot on a BS to allow it to repair it's hull even once.
2. Some BS guns would need upping. Possibly new turrets with a 1 degree a second rotation. (Impossible to even track a GB with.) But they do something like 500k a shot damage. at one shot every 2 seconds. Possibly some sort of Mass driver (ammo based turret). and a power requirement so high that a BS can only fire 2 at once.
3. Wouldnt this mean gunboats would need an up to around now BS armor? And Cruisers to about half the armour of the BS so in this case 10 million.

However it would make it absolutely impossible for a wing of 3 fighters to take on even a Cruiser alone (Good balance?)

If this was done the armor should only be 20mil with max capital upgrade. Making that 850mil worth something.

Although in certain systems it would make it impossible for a fighter to survive alone. (Such as NY although im not saying its a bad thing.)
