To hell with Armor Upgrades!

[Dashiell]

So instead of forcing every fighter to mount an armor upgrade in order to have a chance surviving, why not revise the weapons that are the cause of this ? Namely Mini Razor, SN, torpedoes.

These weapons shouldn't be used on fighters and against fighters effectively if at all, in my opinion. We have bombers to carry and use them.

Stripping the fighters from their torpedo slot (Cd only) ->

No need for armor upgrades, as there are no weapons that can kill you without the armor upgrade in one shot once your shields are down ina fighter vs fighter scenario->

Without the upgrade the bomber's armor is manageable with normal guns, mines and missiles. Against the SNAC the upgrade is worthless anyways ->

Bombers couldn't laugh into the face of the fighters trying to down them with guns anymore, and their agility is justified because they don't have exorbitant armor values ->

The MR + SNAC combo would still melt faces as it does now. It may be a bit radical, but strip the gun slots from the bombers in return?

Then 1 or 2 hits from a cap turret still whacks a fighter instantly. the armor upgrade should just be built in the ship as stanard. or boost the standard stats to armor VIII stats.
