Honestly? I know a smaller fighter stands no chance, and it shouldnt, but I have even run tests in Open SP, and I see both myself and NPCs get pasted. trouble is, while avoidance isnt impossible, one shot is enough to send you to dust....

And again, its good to hear opposite views, and this would be alot less of an issue if fleeing wasnt considered death, in which case I could do what any sane guy in a ship like mine would do; *run* very very fast.

Another thought to consider is not editing firing arcs, but the turrets themselves.

Make a turret class that does immense damage for intra-capship fights, but only make two at most equippable, then give the ship alot of turrets, but make them no stronger, or little stronger, than the average freighter turret.

Thus giving capships balanced tools for each of their needs.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, allow me to introduce you to several friends of mine, they like to keep a fixed distance from me most of the time, and they have a tendancy to spin and gyrate on multi-directional mounts faster than you can compensate for. They disgorge 75 isojoules of subatomic disruptive destructive energy. Fear the tachyon cannons"
