Can we please change the snub changes back?

Make snubs only good against snubs and delete all other ship classes

delete you

Fighters aren't really good against battleships. They're just annoying for them as it's easier to hit fat BS with snub guns than small snub with BS guns.

Both classes shouldn't harm the other at all. Battleship weapon fire is too slow to hit anything smaller than a gunboat (and also has a bad time with gunboats except the Nammu, which is fine though) and snub weapon fire shouldn't be able to harm a battleship shield even with three snubs. However, Right now, every snub, no matter what loadout, is able to horribly annoy a battleship without the battleship being able to do something about it. You can slow a battleship down, and even without being able to damage it at all, the battleship can't dock away from an annoying snub because it would be PvP-dead. Three snubs are enough to down a battleship using mini-razors or torpedos, while the battleship can't do anything about it. Now people in discussions about it come up with "Freelancer wasn't made for battleships" but that is just stupid, because even in vanilla SP, when you had to face a battleship, you had invulnerable teammates, bomber assistance and all that hollywood stuff. But the mod changed that. Effectively. And the possibility is there to make things work like in any good strategy game, where you don't use trash unit spams to win but strategically use the right ships with the right loadout. Sadly, the PvP meta prefers to ignore the fact that one of the major features of this mod is being able to fly not only snubs, but also everything else, and when it offers this, it can offer it in a good way, instead of making snubs the allround-weapon to blue or annoy everyone.

Making the projectiles of smaller ships flying faster while buffing anti-capital-only weapons (bombers, anti-capital-non-snub-loadout) as well as capital hulls/capital shields would be a good way to accomplish that. However, that would require the Dev team to do as someone else said instead of trying to affix a stamp on the mod by making this weird thing. I know, the last update was more of an accident, but even if it was implemented correctly, I doubt people would have come up with an actual good idea to both make snub-fights not only piling-up-and-dodge-like-there-is-no-tomorrow-until-the-other-side-dies-first without buffing snubs even more.
