Discovery please ease back the BHG throttle un poco

Introduction
I'm flying through the omicron gamma system in my Titan with my lovely new setup for maximum killing speed. I have my shiny nuclear mines in my hold and the best shield I can find. Then I encounter TWO bounty hunters guild heavy fighters and it takes about 5 minutes to bring them down!

The BHG Problem
Did you know that it takes two people in a titan to complete one easy mission in the omicron gamma system? Did you also know that the only available missions there are against the BHG?

The overpoweredness of the BHG is really making it hard on people entering the corsair areas of space. Does the order have this problem? No, they do not. The order get to fight the Liberty Navy OR BHG and their missions are much easier.

Isnt this a little strange to anyone? The BHG are significantly stronger than the "bad faction" in any other region. In every other part of Sirius (I've been to basically everywhere) the "bad faction" can be overpowered with the local ships. This is the only place I've seen yet that this does not apply to.

Solution
Tone down the BGH NPCs! There are 3 ways I can see this working.

1. They need to repair their armor less often. They are the most armor-repairing NPCs ive ever seen in Freelancer. And yet they don't even drop that many nanobots.

2. Make them drop more nanobots, one titan BARELY is unable to complete the average gamma mission. A little more repair capability would solve this.

3. Reduce the number of them in omicron gamma in general. One move into the malvada cloud gets you surrounded by 8-12 of them pretty quickly. You end up investing the same time you would in a mission for no pay if you escape.

Notice I did not say to reduce their equipment. That would be out of role play and generally unfair and unrealistic. That would be saying "my guns arent as big as yours so you need smaller guns". The problem is that our guns are as big or bigger than theirs, but they still can't kill them reliably.
