I've explained in detail as to why team ups would be needed like frig to cover init weaknesses as a good dc will know how to best defuse attack / lower the defense tolerence.
and soloing with a kill/steal/non emp fleet without bottom feeding will likely mean an easily covered attack.

Rogues stopping Bs without counter is not.

You have kind of made my point to what people look for when choosing a roiding fleet. fast init and get first cut in (emp defense excluded) Xan fi that round is only stopped via ingal pegs and emp ships like the beetle with other co ships flaked with it. Most players go for the best roiding option i would say its upto the statmaker to provide "options"

I seemed to gotten the impression due to people complaining that R60 have been defensive and folk are looking for a change ... is this wrong?
