Ever since the F7C2s were released, I have had a very bad feeling about Power Creep in this game. We have seen the F7C2s released with a potential of 2xS2s, 2xS3s, and 2xS4s - compared to the old F7C1s 2xS1s, 2xS2s, and 2xS3s. And the Meteor releasing with 4xS3s and 2xS5s? (Nevermind that the Guardian was released with a piddly 2xS5s as a HEAVY FIGHTER). I believe that the older ships were alright as they were, and should have been a standard for scaling loadouts. IMHO, the F7C2s would have been plenty powerful with 6xS3s - or even 2xS2s and 4xS3s (lose the S4s). I believe that it could be beneficial to see most, if not all, of the newer Medium and Light Fighters having their largest weapons reduced in size by at least one. Here are the stats of the F7C1 with the maximum K&W Loadout. Here are the stats of the F7A2 with 6xS3 K&Ws, as I believe the F7C2 would be plenty powerful with. And finally here are the stats for the F7C2 with its maximum K&W Loadout. The DPS reduction of all S3s is minimal. But, by dropping in scale from S4s to S3s, it would reduce the effectiveness to Sub-Caps and Caps. Frankly, I see it that either the newer Medium and Light Fighters need to be scaled down, or we need to see Heavy Fighters and everything larger to be scaled up. I really doubt that Armor will be the solution that some have seemed to believe it may be.
