Description
I believe this started after the 3.3 update. The Capital Ships are too easy to defeat. They have been turned into huge targets for mere practice.

Before the update I remember Cap. Ships would release loads of small fighters which would defend them. Now there are no SLFs to defend the Cap Ships, only the regular NPC ships which do a very poor job.

Steps to Reproduce
Go to a system which as at least 2 faction in WAR state; then go to a High Intensity Conflict Zone. When/IF the Capital Ship shows up, go near it and will see there are no SLFs to defend it.

Additional files?

Just to ilustrate how frustrating the HIGH CZs can be, please check the replay of a live stream I was doing last night:

https://youtu.be/7CunCXbZMX4?t=707

I pasted the URL with time right after the Capital Ship arrived at the CZ and we started shooting at it. Before version 3.3 we couldn't sit so comfortably, stay complete still shooting at parts of a Capital Ship, right from the beginning, without having our shields brought down rapidly.

As you can see on my video, I was fairly safe doing just that.

I heard the Capital Ships were nerfed because some players complained about them being difficult to "kill". Well, they should be, right? A High CZ should really be hard to win.

Please, FDev, you already came up with a ridiculous nerf on the Wing Assassination missions (they were perfect when first released). Now this?

Before Kenjiro started streaming I was with him and a couple of fellas in a wing doing the same CZ and the same happened. Also, the CZ would never end as the Capital Ship would not go away even after destroying all of its subsystems.

PLEASE FDEV MAKE HIGH INTENSITY CZ'S HARD AGAIN
