Why is Discovery Freelancer focused on VHFs?

[Lythrilux]

When capital ships start to appear in groups of more than two or three, snub PvP of any sort quickly becomes almost impossible, unless you count swarms of bombers lobbing SNACs for 3 hours on end as gameplay of any sort. And even that's assuming the cap pilots don't mess you around and start shuttlerunning bots (good luck CDing all of them).

That's less of a balance issue and more of a players-being-idiotic issue. Though I do agree something could be done to make Capship pvp with bombers less monotonous.
I feel like I'm the only person who gets a kick out of sending a wave of novas onto my target though ;-;
