Given all the scanners and bolt-ons and mods the UDV has, I think I'm fine with leaving this as it is for awhile. If people want access to purely combative craft, they have six character slots, and two other factions that pour huge resources into an on-going war.
If we made an analogy of the Serco and Itani were the US and Russia, the UIT might be more like.. Belgium or something? Much smaller, and.. over there, and has a lot of arms trade, but does not make their own stealth bombers. Or maybe Isreal, they're even more independent, and build a lot of their own native weapons systems, but still don't have the resources to develop crazy stuff like the superpowers.
Not all ships (or factions) are supposed to be all things to all people, or a 1:1 match against everyone else. Hell, a ship that benefits from engagement at a distance adds some variety, and perhaps tactical differentiation. I'm just happy that the UDV isn't "entirely embarrassing" and is useful.
Weapons and addons will continue to evolve (particularly into 1.9), we don't have to tune everything to what we have right this second.
