Re: The new base eta feature

" Fi/Co has long been overpowered "
Not sure Co is overpowered really. In this round there was plenty of Fi because it is has been so easy to fake fleets in ST round, so most people naturally have a decent supply of Fi. Cath players were a bit OP last round and were balanced out by having only Fi ship with base ETA13. They still did their main job, support and def, quite well.

"worst-drawback of Cr/Bs, though, which is that they can be defended against by 4 (or 3)"

I think you are referring to MT ships again here. In this round, Cr has actually been quite effective. Most alliances part-covered Co/De quite well early-mid game and only later on did people have enough resources to spread defence to cover those bigger classes.

Playing as Etd, the ability to mix in Priests with same ETA as Co fleet has been a good feature. Most Co fleets by default were def'd by Harpies and Recluse, so the ability to smash the low init and EMP with a hidden De fleet was great.

" I think it's reasonable to hurt Fi/Co a bit by making most anti-Fi/Co ships able to defend at Fi/Co ETA "
This is exactly what is happening now across all classes. Not sure why Roach and Clippers (De anti-Fi) were not also given lowest ETA, maybe to balance or experiment between races a bit.
