Armour upgrades

[Jinx]

can t help - but it does at least sligthly reeks of jealousy.

"there is a gunboat that has a 900.000.000 armour mounted and i cannot beat it, cause i only installed a type 4 for 50.000.000. - and i find that unfair, - cause quite frankly - ... my SKILL is higher - and i am about to loose against an inferior pilot that only wins cause he has better gear."

yes - i also think that its inappropriate to have a 900 million armour on a 30 million ship. - but i do also realize that most part of me thinking its inappropriate is actually only thinking "i cannot / do not want to trade my backside off to afford the same".

even those people that come with RL comparisons ( that never work - unless you bend them to breaking point in your favour ) could realize that a highly modified car can easily cost a tenfold of the base car.




but lets put it into balance.



if armour was restricted - and along with the new faction restrictions. - i would seriously attempt to buff up the larger capital warships. - in the end..... there is no reason left to keep them artificially weak anymore, now that we are certain that they really "earned" their right to carry a high grade armour and we can also be sure that factions make 100% sure that only responsible people fly them.

then they can be balanced to be the dreaded "check mate move".

oh - and transports..... the only times i failed to pirate a transport / liner was cause i made fatal mistakes on my side.... never cause a transport had a high armour installed.
