Re: Round 58 BB stats discussion

I haven't studied the stats in-depth, but here are some of my thoughts re: the stats;

- I really don't see the xan fi is too good argument; they have to spread their resources over three ships this round, compared to the regular two fi class ships. This means firepower overall. Also, the Tzen having init 4 also ****s them quite handily.
Yes, cath co + xan fi will be good, but there's no scenario ever in which it hasn't been.

- Personally I think there are too many FR fleets. BOTH zik and etd having an FR fleet seems a bit OTT. I can see etd + xan fr teaming up be quite popular...

- I really hate zik. THe FR fleet is unfathomably uneffective and the CR fleet, despite having nice effs, is a loose-loose affair as landing it on anything means your CR fleet going *pooof* and you being stuck with a useless att fleet.


Overall, at first glance, these stats look a lot better than I'd have thought. However I'd suggest trying to accomplish the following;

1) Make Zik CR not suck
2) Possibly make the Zik FR fleet into a DE fleet. Zik has far too many stealships imo
3) I think etd having three good + a DE roidfleet is a bit OTT. The "co for def and etd FR for att to team with xan FR" strat seems too good to me.
