Ok, eternal, you just COMPLETELY missed the point.
First, I am not talking about the luggernaut. Its great, I love it. tottaly worth getting rid of 490 mil and a big fat green pile of junk. I am talking about how INEFFECTIVE all these supposedly anti small ship weapons are.
Wether or not we have enemies is besides the point. the point is, defending against those who DO attack.
And, defending against the PURELY annoying everyday nomad npc squadron (among others) and actually BEING effective.
