I'm sorry but it will just make people even saltier than they are now. Maybe a not-quite-insta on stuff like Mortars and stuff but the second you make fighter invulnerable to caps is the second you open the door to a fighter just CD-spamming a cruiser so that a dread can just cruise up and throttle it point blank.
Honestly, it'd make things worse than buttcloaking.
Completely agreed with this. With the deployment of only a bunch of wild good fighter bois you can disrupt every attempt of fleet movement and engagement, discoraging Cap gameplay in no time. For events, like the last Titan event, this mechanic could make these unfeasable. Adding to that, if flipping is not solved, Caps players will have to endure trolls flipping their ships, until the sanction is made.
Also, as some already mentioned, it is immersion breaking. From my point of view, Caps are supposed to be feared by all, specially smaller ships...it doesn't make sense the investment in materials, research & development and manufacturing to make wonders of engineering that can't touch less sophisticated ships.
