There's no really effective kill fleet that can roid xan either. Fi/co/bomber/shadow and you're pretty safe. Salvage got nerfed too, I think zik needs some re-evaluating in light of that.
Done another draft here.

In response to your comments:
1) Mantis I'm going to play around with later. I'm not too depressed with it currently. If you're going CR/BS, then it gets to fire against zik and terran BS.
2) Xand FR I've added the spirit (FR -> DE/CO) to improve its attacking ability. Now you can build a fleet of 3 frigate ships and the phantom. It leaves you vulnerable to etd FR but now it can hit etd, zik and cath.
3) terran CO with dragons looks obscene. Haven't decided how to solve that. As for BS: I'm thinking of messing around with the CR/BS somehow to strengthen it a bit. Possibly make kraken init 19 but that might uber them.
4) Killfleets hitting xand - the idea is to make them vulnerable to ter BS but shadow is currently sick against them. Might put shadow init behind dragon and move etd BS behind shadow.


Also changed zik DE class killer to DE/FI target at init 3 to guage the reaction. This means you can build corsair/FR/DE. Is a little overpowered against cath, possibly a FR->DE killship would solve this.

Also thinking of introducing a CR->CR/DE stunner for the caths.
