Im not sure why the interaction between FR/DE VS CR is how it is atm.

CR fire down at FR/DE
FR/DE roidingfleets dont fire up at CR

I think limiting urself to 4 races, without ETD, might be a little troublesome.
You might end up with a lot of "prefiring" def ships, like Wyvern, wich normaly would push the stats towards a defensive approach, especialy if it is 4 races instead of 5, wich could suggest that there would be more of Wyvern than if there was a 5 race.

2 pod/3 pod sets are a matter of taste, and ive allready said i dont like 2 pod sets.
Ive considered for trolls, to make a 6 race set, with a 2nd "EMP" race.
