Novas should definetely stay unchanged. In real life single fighter can do a lot of damage with the proper arms and intelligence.For example - the F/A-22 - USA Air Force newest toy. This thing can destroy naval ships with the size of a city with no prob. Can carry even thermo-nuclear missles. So definetely come to think of it a fighter is a very deadly weapon.
Bottm line - nova stays.
