A-Wings, JSFs, and other small craft are already crazy strong to an Ace who knows the correct components to put into them. Which is why space is so loved, it takes a tremendous amount of time to get those elite parts to put into various craft just to get the smallest edge over. This idea would totally negate that.

Simple idea is to simply make ACE versions of all ships that have the mass for ace tier parts so space PVP can be more varied. More a wings and y wings participating and what not.

There's also another thread going here about allowing AoA completion to allow you to fly everything - and unless I'm greatly mistaken, something like this is in the works or at least being strongly considered.

One of my pet peeves of the space game is that there's the meta and only the meta. None of the ships have their own "identities." Heavy-X, TIE-D, POBs, and everything else isn't worthwhile (with caveats). What you're proposing would make the chassis identity problem even worse. I get where you're coming from and what you want to accomplish, but I think it would do far more harm than good.
