Well i think if fighters got a little less armoour/bots/bats, but bombers got a little less agile that would keep them equal. Yes bombers could 1 shot a fighter, but the fighter can handle alot better.
Plus if possible make armour upgrades nerf all snub agility. After all you add a ton of armour, and that ship should be harder to turn/dodge/accelerate and so on. So if you want fast/hard to hit no armour. If you want a tank? get armour, but lose agility some.
Snub fights are fun, but after a long snub fight i just need to log off for awhile to let my mouse hand rest. Yeah maybe i am getting to old, but i get stiff fingers after an hour long snub battle.
PS. Fix missiles. They are almost useless right now in a fight. You can fire 20 missiles, and if 1 hits your lucky.
