I do think, however, that each race should be equally required to send more than one class, while at the same time admiting I wouldn't be able to balance the stats in such a way if I tried.

I agree mate, sorry i forgot to put this in my original post. Branching into two class attack fleets for effectiveness should be encouraged, but not just forced upon one race as they are here.

Fair enough if it was your secondary fleet, but I wouldnt want to have to suicide my cr everytime I want to attack someone just so my BS don't get thier arseholes busted. As things are, combining class pod fleets just isnt worth it, and until we (appoco :P) can think of a set of stats in which two class podding is more effective, it should'nt be attepmted sort of half arsed. I personally wouldnt expect to see this for r15.

Dont get me wrong appoco mate your doing a good job, i'm just trying to add some constructive criticism.
i agree completly with the idea that it should be favorable to send more than one class of ship (as stated in my previous posts)

i would also like to point out that it is not just terrans where this is the case you will find that it is preferable for the xan to add co to their fi for the cat to add to their cr and maybe their fi to their co and the zik almost always have to send both cr and bs to be effective
