Difference between say a Wrath or Sabre and a Titan is just about as far as it goes...
turning much faster...dodging much better... much more/less armor... much bigger/smaller powerplant (10k or 15k is a HUGE difference don't you think?)
about capships... well there are many other things that you can "invest" money in.. most are RP related.
And since you can get a VHF with armor fairly fast.. you have much more time to actually roleplay with it... see the point?
Instead of just going around trading forever.... that's the good thing about discovery... easy to get into level playing field (with say a bomber)... no need for power-trading.
