I agree with you there, Fire-Fly. I said in an earlier post that I believe cap-ship shields are too powerful. I don't have much of a problem with the bs missile immunity, but energy weapons in general are too weak against cap-ships. Heavy fighters could do with a bit more firepower in addition to the Outcast pulse weapon. Skilled flying in a VHF ought to be rewarded, otherwise Discovery will turn into the 'cap-ship mod'. Suggestion off the top of my head - how about increasing the damage done by the codename guns? They're generally weaker than nomad guns *and* use energy.
