I haven't had as much fun with snub PvP as I am having since returning to discovery a couple of months ago. I feel like the changes since I left (about 5 years ago) have actually lowered the skill ceiling quite a bit, and on top of that made heavy and light fighters much more viable choices to fly, even for an average pvper such as myself.
I have been consistently punching above my weight since my return not by suddenly becoming a lot better at aiming or better at positioning, but simply by accepting the new changes and adapting to them.
I do fly VHF's a lot less, and I do think that there's an issue with torpedos now being too weak against transports and caps.
