Alright, say you're a marginal fighter.
Would you
sacrifice
50% of your damage
for a projectile that was 3x bigger?
This could be mounted as an additional thingy in the shield/thruster menu, but I'm not sure it could be made at all.
QUESTIONS?

How much good would 3x size do?

I can imagine I would sacrifice that much damage only for somethings like 3000m/s speed.

I don't see how helpful this would be, could you clarify?

No?

Not good, I must say. 50% damage loss is terrible.

No longer a slave to the man!

Can't see any advantages with this. Decreasing damage by 50% is WAY too much.

It's easier to hit things, I believe.


Edit: Things can be changed. If you do not like the idea, then come up with a better solution that could still be balanced.

50% bigger? so its really really easy to hit a target? wouldnt it be more fun to learn how to aim, set your gun groups properly so they're not putting your aim off? there is a tutorial about it somewheres.

btw, my aim is terrible, even after playing this game for a gazillion years

Suggestion was 3x bigger. Would help with tricky targets such as LF's and other things.

What are we talking about exactly? Do you mean on fighters, bombers, transports, ect.?

I think maybe 10% damage would be okay, increasing projectile size really wouldn't do much good but I can see people being willing to try out a 10%/3x combo.

10-20% damage reduction for 3 times projectile size?

Then YES
