By the way, I don't think making the cap ship weapons weaker is a good idea. Yes, they are lethal, and that is the only reason I bought them in the first place. What you could do to make sure that everyone doesn't go and buy one is increase their prices (around 100 million). Also, you can give the fighters an advantage as well by increasing their speed, manueverability, weapon damage output and more hardpoints.
