You and Kaiba are both so far off in your assumtion on what would work with these stats.
Most allies has avoiding going DE for a reason, its simply not doable.
The only alliance with loads of zik this round is p3ng, and im pretty sure they are gonna pay pretty heavy for this.

Mind you, i didn't say top 50 was required from an alliance point of view. All that is required is 'enough' value to make it hard for attacks made out of 1-3 planets to land. As such i would call top 100 value at the end 'viable' from the view of an alliance HC i guess.

Ter Fr and Cr are not viable roiding classes, and the init on the Fi is too high to do much of anything on offense even if it does cover all classes.
On a sidenote, stats on how many people cov op enough pods to max cap on, say, an 800 roid planet would be interesting to have!
As for the wider discussion, it's pointless. "Winning" it will not cause a change in the stats, at this point. Just wait and see, claim victory when the round is over.

True enough, there are definitely some that aren't too viable. Defender with just FI pods being one of them most likely, yet still a fi team might actually be happy to take someone along that has a load of defenders and some fi pods. Same with ter FR for that matter, not so much for ter CR i guess, but i imagine a xan with broads and CR pods would be welcome again. As a strategy for a planet however, i wouldn't encourage it as an alliance HC, but for 1 or 2 planets in this universe it might be a fun way to change up their round a bit.
