Overall Scaling - Near Instant Death

Perhaps this fits a current post - but playing a bit today it struck me how quickly a ship can be destroyed.... Scruyve Beam Carver, Menkmack Mine, Trandals Ribbon Bola (and likely others) - are able to kill you almost instantly which is problematic depending on starting locations. 

My gut feel is that there needs to be a reduction in overall damage or increase in overall health - for most if not all ships.
