Some good suggestion here. We gave more hitpoints to hardpoints on capitals allready but we also need to consider the following fact. If you make battles last longer would you get bored if after let's say 25 minutes you only managed to destroy a single hardpoint. The problem is how long do we want the battle to last ? 5 minutes, 10 minutes or 1 hour ? If we refer to tactical naval battles in history then I think that you will have to fight for 1 day. As an exemple Trafalgar battle (British Navy Vs French Navy) started with first rays of sun and lasted till 3 AM next day. In modern era (India Vs Pakistan) the biggest naval battle since the WW2 lasted only 15 minutes. Indian Navy stroke with anti-ship missiles. If you refer to the WW2 then we can talk about the battle between Royal Navy and KriegMarine. Sunking of Bismarck (the greatest battleships ever made) was done in 2 phases. 1 phase destroying its ability to move with torpedo planes and the second phase rush of the Royal Navy. 2 phases lasted for almost 48 hours. Eventhough Bismarck was disabled she was able to return fire. On other hand her armor was strong enough to reppel all attacks from 220 mm guns. A lucky shot in her ammo storage sent her down. So you see it is all about finding the compromise between what is acceptable by players and what happens in reality. Now for ppl who want to tweak by them self you can play with the file called hardpoints.xml Just increase the hitpoints of corresponding hardpoins. Concerning the rescaling. Yes I know that capitals are looking too big. I was discussing with Athanasios about this. When this was done the fighter has been taken as the reference and everything else was rescaled acording to it. We also tryed to take Capital as refrerence. Here you can see what is the end result when the capital is taken as the refrence. About the space station being too weak agains capitals. If you make research on gun enhancement for space station I'm sure that you will find space station too powerfull compared to capitals. When my gun and armor enhancements are at maximum no capitlal can take out the space station alone.
