This suggestion is dependant on another suggestion. If Starcrusher comes into Ogame, then this upgrade should be considered to regain balance on the board.
New Ship Upgrade: Heavy Fighter
A suggestion to make the Heavy Fighter more useful and interesting, promoting strategic use of ships at the same time. Basically the Heavy Fighter would stay the same, but it would get a strong upgrade once Plasma Technology level 10 is reached. This would keep the beginning of the new universes as is, while making the Heavy Fighter something to think about later in the game.
The Upgrade:
"When Plasmatechnology level 10 is reached, Heavy Fighters are supplied with guided plasma torpedoes that wreak havoc among heavier ships."
The Heavy Fighter then gains:
Rapid Fire against Destroyer - 2 ( 4, if Starcrusher doesn't exist)
Rapid Fire against Bomber - 6 ( 8, if Starcrusher doesn't exist)
Rapid Fire against Starcrusher - 8
