Second, and more seriously: You could say ETD, XAN, CAT and ZIK could all stand and demolish a fake if they had bailiff defence, because they all have FR targeting CO which would be shielded by the Bailiffs, indeed three of them have FR that are worth leaving in the fight because they hit CR themselves.
The stats are not designed to allow small groups of CO to land against planets with FR! Ive always thought that to expect to be able to land uncloaked fakes against defence is a big ask. The fake allows you to double the attack potential of your CR but not to wish away the fact that there is defence, this doesn't make the fake useless, just that the threat that it is your CR needs to have worked to get the FR out of the way.

Yes the baliff would likely cover the fake on all other races too, however, you can't attack the other races with ter CR solo anyhow. At least up to a point, xans were a viable target for that. As for faking giving a CR fleet too much of an advantage, that's part of the charm of going capital ships, at least for me. Granted the costs of capitital ships are now such that faking has already become quite a risk anyhow as your fakes are never enough value to pack a punch regardless.
