I like the Armor upgrades, it prolongs fights(Lance, mostly) and doesn't really make it easier or harder to destroy someone.

Right. As an example, ive fought cardramine a while ago, that was the day they show up, right before the "Angel incident". He was in a bloodhound with mk7 armor (or wolfhound, dont remember. It was the pirate VHF that look like the rogue fighters, but with more armor), and i was in a sabre WITH NO ARMOR. Well, i defeated him. It took me 6 or 7 minutes, but i took him down with moderate damage. He was a noob, and i was (am i right? :unsure: ) a veteran.
There you have the example. the noob had no chance, even when we do a straight confrontation the way i use to do (those woh fought me will understand). So your theory of "straight confrontation, best ship wins" is not valid. (unless you consider an armored titan against a LF, but that is unrealistic, the LF has no chance to defeat a VHF)
Armor should stay. A thing i hated before the armor was that battles eneded way too quick. My opponent or me never last more than a minute while fighting unarmored.
I think that everyone thinks the same. Also, the armor is not mandatory. The one who dislikes it can unmount it.
