Big ship supremacy... Can little ships keep up?

[Dizzy]

I've heard peeps complain that once big ships and big mounts are available, little ships are no more. What kinds of things can be done to make little ships competitive and worth while? I have a cpl ideas, but am no modder so I dont know if it's feasable.

Could smaller ship classes be given a vehiclesize ability that allows for lesser maintenance costs?

Perhaps mounts can be revised so as to not allow the big ships so much of a weapon hardware advantage?

Perhaps more of a natural ecm bonus.

Mb make a manuevering thrusters component only for smaller ships that add extra combat movement. Mb smaller ships can be equipped with more engines?

What other ideas are there?
