Tycoon T2 Cr and Peacekeeper T2 Fr gives both Xan and Etd full coverage on 2 classes, 3 ships. This is also true for Cat, with the undocumented addition of T2 Cr to the Tarantula. If you want defensive stats that badly, you should pick a different starting point.

3 ship roiding fleets are generally weak. You have to split your resources among 3 ships, giving each T1 class only 33% coverage, 20% for T2. With 2 ships, each targetted T1 class is given 50% coverage, 33% for T2.

I think the best solution for 0 loss removal is moving the Ranger out of the Etd Fi fleet (to Co?), removing T2 Fi from the Fireblade and removing T2 Cr from the Tarantula. Cat has too many ships with T2 anyway, so removing T2 from the Scorp has my support too.

Either the Gryphon or Centaur should get its Init increased by 1. I prefer the Gryphon, because Ter Bs is pretty weak as is, whereas Fi doesn't really need a buff. Zik Bs is even weaker than Ter Bs, with the Mara added as an effectively 0 loss ship. The Pirate/Mara Init swap was necessary, but this can be mitigated somewhat by giving the Rogue a better Init. Swapping Gryphon and Rogue Init solves both issues.

The Bolt Thrower will never face Peacekeepers in battle, lowing their Init just makes it into a second Ghost. I'd sooner make it a Cr, firing at Fr. Also, Peacekeepers are fairly useless now. Their original function was countering Ter De, which no longer exists.


What I disliked most about my r50 stats was that every single race has at least 1 class that can be covered with only 1 ship. This is still true. Ter has Fi/Fr/De, Cat has Fi, Xan has Fr, Zik has Cr/Bs, Etd has Cr. I would suggest adding 1 ship to every race and 2 to Ter.
