I guess the point is the Sigma clouds have never fulfilled their intended purpose - to provide the advantage of small ships over larger ones. It has always been the opposite.

So how do we manage this? What would give small craft the advantage?

Large ships cannot avoid the gas pockets during combat - but small ships would only take stray hits from them.


So how about the gas clouds only do shield damage, and plenty of it? Certainly more than what they do now as capital shields arent even scratched by them.

This way they can still block fire - but hitting the pockets wont blow off small ship equipment and hurt the hull. Shields will only be lowered by a stray collision.

The capital ship will also have its shields lowered as it cannot avoid multiple hits in combat - and then it will be vulnerable to the aimed shots of the bombers.
