The problem is that vanilla FL was designed on a way that increases the difficulty not as the player levels up, but as the player goes further of NY. The further you are from NY, the more powerful stuff is.
That way the player can advance through SP and face enemies of comparable power.

The mod should depart of this model. All houses should have their weps, ships and stuff rebalanced. Having ships with a hull of 1300 is nonsense nowadays, as that ship cannot face most of the NPC out there. Look at current low level weps. Class 1 weps do damage in the single digit range O_o.
I don't know if I'm explaining myself correctly, but what we should do is to make the mod more realistic.
Ships should be fully configurable. weapons power core, thruster speed, maneuvering thrusters, all. That way we can make any ship a top of the line ship instead of using all the same 5-6 fighters.
All lower level weapons should be cranked (word?) up, so we have more variety of weapons to choose from.
Ships should have a base hull value, power core, thruster, speed, and then upgraded from there.

Also, battleships should have its firing arcs corrected. You can actually fire turrets through the hull of your ship. The problem is that having firing arcs corrected will make BS a lot less powerful because they lack the turrets to cover with significant fire power all the sides. I was last night in omicron delta, mapping hard points and doing some research and testing in order to place the weapons of my battleship in an order that better covers all the sides of the ship, and realized this problem. The ship can defend itself pretty well right now, but if firing arcs were fixed, it would be unable to concentrate a worthy amount of firepower on a point because it lacks the turrets to do so.

And also, the corsair battleship turrets have no accuracy at all. You cant hit with them anything smaller than a gunboat. So they are useless for their primary purpose of defeating a fighter.
