To hell with Armor Upgrades!

[Furball]

I am new - so I do not understand. You are talking about "This Mod" Right?
Me thinks many are "over thinking" this stuff.

I was in New Berlin today. A FL in a fighter, 9000 armor and a top armor upgrade.
I had code weps, a Torp.
RM was overwhelmed by RHA. I was tasked to assist.
The RHA Gunboat took out my shield and a RM Nuke mine blew me up . . . 1 & 2 & dead!
So - AU lvl VIII aint squat.
The Lawfuls were out-numbered and out-gunned. I see that far more often . . .
unless you hang out in New York - and I avoid New York like a pot of Herpes.

Armor upgrades do little. I have a Top armor upgrade on my Adv Train.
A OOC IMG Battlecruiser blew me up without warning before I could type: "Stop!"
So - AU lvl VIII aint squat.

What I see a lot is the above mentioned Gunboats and cap-ships flown by everyone who has a buck.
(What I saw just today)
A Junker with a Rhineland Gunboat and Nomad Turrets in New Berlin.
I was shot by 2 Freelancer "tagged" players (without warning) entering Colorado. They had Bretonia gunboats and one had a BMM IFF. (I am a Freelancer and they both had IFF issues)
Corsair IFF, Pirate tag in a Bretonian capship Pirating above New Tokyo, etc . . . and so on.
That is the problem and issue that should be addressed.

Armor does nothing to protect players ships from an Outcast tagged player in a Corsair Gunboat using Nomad turrets.
Please fix that first.
Thanks.
