I guess my main problem is that any single fool with Novas can take down a battleship. Notice, single. You would need at least a wing or two of fighters to take one on, much less down (wings being around 4 or 5 fighters)! So, if anything could be done to make it impossible if not suicidal to take on a Battleship (possibly cruiser) single handedly, I think I would be ok.

As an example if anyone has read star wars books it takes approximately 20 proton torpedoes to take down a Star Destroyers shield. then it would take another 28-35 to cripple the ship. The star destroyer would be like the RH BS, and the proton torps would be like the Sunslayer torps. Given that novas do about 5 times more than sunslayers we should need about 4 to take down a shield and six to seven to take down its hull and this is without armor upgrades. To take down a battleship that has armor upgrade of VII a fighter should need 30-40 novas in total to kill it if it also has shield/nano-bots.

Ok, so does this mean that to make BS's and other cap-ships more survivable we need to remove the Nova Torpedos from the game?
I would make sense to me. A RH Bomber with codenames, salamanca turrets and sunslayer torpedos would be the best option for killing any cap-ship.
