Armour upgrades

[NonSequitor]

I vote "No".

I have cap 8 on one character. It's a larger capital ship (not a BS) and needs all the reinforced armor I can put on it.

If one is trying to achieve "realism" this isn't the way to go about it. Capships are gimped enough as it is.

Ok, cap armor 8 is ridiculously expensive, about 9 times the price of my vessel. I suspect the price was set to its current level to make it to make it rare in order to prevent all that awful cap abuse I keep hearing about. And getting higher-end armor keeps the traders plying their trade.

Personally, I think cap armor, in particular cap 8, should be a good deal cheaper - something like 450 million. It would still be pricey enough to keep it in lower numbers, while still being attainable.
