To hell with Armor Upgrades!

[Derkylos]

I would personally prefer if armor upgrades were all removed, and all the ships were just rebalanced to include the 2.0 or 2.5 armor that most upgrades would give. Maybe a 3.0 for caps. High-level upgrades are almost a requirement for competitive fighting vs. players and high-end NPCs, so I really don't see any reason to make people pay for them.

I totally and uttely agree. Every damn fighter character I make, I have to run at least 2 trade routes (there and back), in order to have the slightest chance in PvP. Adding lower level fighter armor is just pointless...the only people using it are the ones that aren't gonna be in PvPs anyway...

Essentially, a combat-ready fighter no longer costs 2-3 mill, it costs 17-18 mill.
