The problem results from the proportion in the mass and the armor.

that make useless to fly with Ragnarok, Centaur and Promethus. (See Hornet).

there is a difference between an Attack Ship (low mass) and a Defence Ship (heavy mass).

Defence Ship should resist more while it's hard for him to catch somone.

That's why i really think the current armor is not proportionnal with the mass.

example : a ship with Mass x 2 should have x 4 armor.

no one use heavy ship to fight in game.
Only to transport cargo but they die fast.

this is a urge problem.

they are working on it nyas,

check the bugged valk thread.

It is going to get fixed with some kind of strength mod. (inherent mass -- fixed agility -- weapons mounted will less influence the agility with raising mass)

cheers
