Are ships too tough?

[Dashiell]

like I suggested: less botts and batts or lose armor mulipliers or make em weaker. Advantages, imho:

- GBs may actually do their jobs: annoy snubs and be a proper dangerous escort against snubs

- Solaris and flak really become dangerous and do their job. even in their current form. Same can maybe even be said of flak

- dogfights won't take 30 minutes per fighter IF he doesnt run and retocks.

- Light fighters actually beome dangerous

- bombers lose their omi-potence and have to start actually worying about getting hit.

- transports may be able to bite back a bit more. because right now, their combat abilities are laugable. even for a transport ship.

- ships will become cheaper. as right now, the UAU 8 is 15 mils, for a ship that costs 1-3 mils... This might even stimulate snub useage

------

con however is: NPCs will actually become a threat to player snubs. In some scenarios that's good. In others, it will become a pain.

and the most obvious con: the lesser pilots may be mowed down in great numbers. 20 seconds of action, 4 hours of waiting.
