I'd argue that Caths need to send BWs with their CR in order to be able to roid Dragon-heavy Terrans.
As to the rest of your post... I agree with your reasoning, but I just don't see any
empirical evidence that there's a problem.
I think it's actually a philosophical difference - I'd rather look at the system as a whole, and see what's actually working - an
empiricist approach. Most of the posters here seem to be taking a
rationalist approach.
From an empirical standpoint, there really is no problem - there's a balance between the average roid counts and values. The evidence shows that there
is balance.
This means that either:
a) Cath don't have an advantage from the stats
b) Cath
do have an advantage, but this advantage is balanced out by other factors
The problem is that stats discussion never takes these other factors into consideration. The fact that Caths tend to get more incoming than other races is ignored, because it's a statement based on observation of "real world" behaviour and can't be explained purely in terms of tweaks to the targetting of specific ships.
