They're 100% right...having a light sloop does not make you a "noob"...
Want to know why? Let Wolfie spin ye a yarn quick...
In another game called Freelancer, which is a space fighter arcade-like FPS with elements of RPG, we used to set up a spot for the pilots to duel it out in 'The Ring'...well one of our friends would come and 85-90% of the time win with his small level 5 ship against pilots with high level, fully loaded with the best weapons ships...
The ship he'd use is not unlike that of a small sloop...very fast and can turn on a dime...whereas the bigger ships have a bigger turn radius, and obviously are slower...I'm betting you that if you put a very skilled Captain in command of a small sloop, he'd beat out any ship...gun & run, circling, etc...the small sloop has an edge...and in the right hands can be devastating...
