Are there some play balance problems in the game?  It seems to me that the
Skull light fighter is significantly more durable than it should be.  I
can't for the life of my kill one of these guys.  I've taken out cap ships
with just my guns, but it seems that with these guys my guns overheat before
I can knock off even half of their shields.  It seems to me that the
Jincilla stats for the light and heavy fighters might be switched, since I
can knock off the Jincilla heavy fighter (the Tacon) with no problems at
all.  I'm currently flying a Shaman with dual flux cannons, and I'm getting
frustrated having to depend on my wingman AI to take out the Skulls at NAV
36 in the Senator's Daughter mission.

Is this a problem anyone else has had, or am I just crazy?
