How about we put a tracking laser on a starflyer that can destroy a battleship from 10k away.
Really guys, nerfing anything only gets brought up when we can't seem to instant kill it or we run into one too many good players who use their ships potential to its max and we Q_Q all the way home.
I've seen light fighters force cruisers to land. I've seen a single bomber take out a light fighter and every flavor in between. Fighters/bombers still die from a one shot SNAC, persistant accurate weapons fire or two good Nukes in the face. Any reasonable change in armor won't change this fact.
Lets move on.
Sometimes, when all you want is to gain your freedom, you must be willing to risk it all.
