Well, you could always make it 50% dmg to small ships. Then it wouldn't be that imbalanced, coz ye dessie killing any small ship in one barrage, not to mention it's auto aimed so theres no chance of escaping if u haven't reacted when he was 2 screens away.
Destroyers are meant as anti-cruiser ships, not "an even better anti-small ship then the cruiser itself"

dessys need a jump to kill any wraith thats not paying attention, the lock helps drift volleys in the right direction but the angle is too extreme to hit a fully boosting wraith evading the volley (assuming your going in the right direction) and you can dodge it easilly. Corvettes can turn faster and can close the gap with their shield, a talented pilot can abuse a dessys blind spot while it tries to turn and catch you (ionic does not effect turning rates)
Theres ways around it, but i do agree the destroyer does need to do less damage to small ships and a slight bit more to battle cruisers.
