That's the point. We can't balance a skill or an equipment mis-parity. (four cruiser choices verses one, battleships verses none, choices of the best fighters in disco against one recently buffed one, faction specific turrets v basics). I am forced to bring superior numbers to a fight and even then get pasted. That's something that "git gud" will not solve.
Edit: I am trying to get mitigating factors put in game, but I can only move as fast as the bottlenecks.
