Discovery without Armour upgrades?

[Fletcher]

This is a quick draft of how I think of armour upgrades in Discovery.

Now, a though occurs to me, what is the armour upgrades INTENDED for?

In a PvP sense , I can see the reason, in some ships PvP is short at times since light fighters stand little chance against a skilled opponent, but sometimes an upgrade can give the less skill a good buffer against damage while the better skilled pilot out performs the enemy.

In the roleplay aspect, I can understand and see the reasoning behind the armour upgrades as a means to make a ship 'unique' and more powerful than their standard counterparts. Better armour means better survivability, amongst other things.

As of late and prior, I wonder if its worth it. Sure, I believe in a little bit longer PvP combat in the right places, but lets face it, most if not all have a lot of VIII armour combat characters.


Armour upgrades is both a blessing and a curse, but what do YOU see them as? A PvP upgrade or a RP upgrade?


I try to be as neutral as possible in polls but for reference I shall make my opinion clear.

I see the upgrades as a way for some players to get an advantage over those who do no trade, or not put hours into missions. The upgrades, while I enjoy to give me some chance in RP during combat, some sometimes I think , its just for PvP, which this server is not geared for.

What is your opinion?
