Re: Round 61 BB stats

Yes, the problem with broads was that they were too good, a ship that can solocover a teamup while being significantly lower value is just too good. No matter if it's in some other race or even not cloaked (you can easily fake 10k visible ships too). Same for any other uberkiller, such as rogue (rather an equal problem to BS as broads were for FR).

Atm you need a 3 man teamup for FR teams to land "free", make it require the fourth race and it's no longer an attack option at all, especially as it already is coverable with reasonable amounts of ships. Cath CO/CR (thanks to stupidly high effs again) can in some extent roid solo, and then there are several teamup options for the CO later (zik with stolen pods, ETD), that are decently strong, especially if the uni goes FR heavy (leaving the DE that's the de facto anti-CO to lower amounts). Adding a FR killer to a race without FR means that'd be Cath too or god forbid Zik, both of which are already quite strong. Changing the Man O war to kill made a big difference to CR, even if it is lower init, so Zik now has 4 decent roiding (teamup) options too (yes, some steals required). Ter having both CR and BS that shoots FRDE can be a problem... especially when the War Cruiser gets stolen so nicely in to both Cath/Zik CR fleets.

IMO changing the set too much at this point would only make it worse, it's not perfect, but it really can't be "perfected" without a massive overhaul (pretty much starting over). M0s set isn't perfect either.
