Making snubs more appealing

[Vrabcek]

Sadly all the cap development in the past years made the gap between snubs and caps bigger and bigger. Many people were disgusted by those changes, begging developers to remove them, but nobody heard them out.
Now instead of removing proven balance breakers, as the well known turret zoom, you trying to find ways how to balance it out again, but youll most likely succeed in making disco fights even worse.
In the past, capital ships were dangerous too, but a rookie cap was more or less the same dangerous as a rookie snub pilot and a skilled cap was a pain in the ass, as same like a skilled snub, but in certain scenarios. Of course less and less new players are now choosing playing snubs when they can be five times so dangerous with a gunboat that can easily deal with more enemies at once, than a lonely snub that can barely deal with one opponent at one time.
Its said its not worth looking backwards, but sometimes its worth evaluating whether the development was a success or not...
