Lets improve the gameplay between the Hessians and the Corsairs

That is correct, however, the problem remains with all those other caps.

I would like battleships removed entirely, but oh well, that's not going to fly.

Alternative option is to remake anti-capital-ship balance into REALLY SLOW guns unable to hit fighters, that would make caps unable to ruin snub fights.

Also, when you go on with your logic, please, remove oc and sair battleships and then a jorm, some 2 years later, to make it completely fair.

The House Navys have there advatage... the ultimate killing machines the BSs. Pirates have theres...the asteroid fields. Me and one other Bomber took down a Osiris in an asteroid field. BSs cant stand for long in Asteroid fields. That way you will even reduce invasions on the capital planets of the 4...I mean 5 major houses by pirates.
+why not add a better range scanners to pirates(this idea is rly stupit though)
