Armour represent a fundamental problem in Discovery where everyone just want the best upgrade... Because "OLOLOL I HAS MOAR ARMOUR THAN JOO I ARE BETTAR" It's all about competition and e-peen enlargement, like the existence of capital ships.

Of course this competition is healthy until a player decides to powertrade for weeks, even months so he/she can afford the biggest ship with the best armour. This process of powertrading is caused by the initiatial urge to gain an advantage over others, but results in boredom, lack of RP and generally a bad experience for others.

Therefore I propose either a complete removal of armour upgrades and rebalance damages according to base hull or at least lower the prices a little.

edit: Actually I have another idea, turn armour upgrades into class based just like weapons and shields.

examples - Figthers up to Universal 6, Gunboats up to Universal 8 and so on.
