Well, in real life when a weapon or tactic becomes too overpowered a defense is found to mitigate it. Maybe what we need are more dynamic and powerful defense systems.
We could start by needing line of sight in order to bring weapons to bear, creating the need to maneuver while fighting. At the same time it would (hopefully) dial back the one huge overpowered ships weapon in favor of multiple strategically placed weapons.
- Have ai pilots who man the fighters when attacked and ground troops in the vehicles.
- More different types of attack and defense vehicles/craft
- Ground officers that provide attack/defense modifiers and can also man stations.
- Maybe increase the effectiveness of heavy defense weapons and shields
The idea is to make an attacker think twice about attacking in the first place, not artificially limit their ability to do so.
