Again. I consider myself to be a decent bomber pilot, and I have been absolutly smashed by light and heavy fighters.
It all comes down to skill.
I could say battleships where over powered because my cruiser wasn't scratching his sheild. Thats a completly different skill, but its the same thing in principle.
Different load-outs are capable of different things. Talk to NightBlade. I hate his sun-slayer torpedo. He is one of the best light/heavy fighters I know. One sun-slayer can take all my guns of my Falcata making it a useless machine.
But hey, even though all my guns where gone, I took his ass down with an inferno and ultimatly a super-nova (luck-shot I have to admit) but I won non the less.
