I agree with the last few people talking about Zik being underpowered lately. Personally, I don't have enough fun playing the other races to play as one of them. The stealing is what makes it fun. Slowly but surely Ziks keep getting worse though. The new "run like the french" option makes it extremely tough and time consuming to even steal from inactives and noobs. I also have to agree that Etd should never have an advantage in stealing over Ziks in any respect. They are a "jack of all trades" race, and should do everything less well than the race that does JUSt that. So, emp should be worse than cat, cloak should be worse than xan (worse init or ac/dc or whatever), and stealing should be worse than zik (worse init and imho single targetting). The benefit should be that their ships should work well together, not be strong individually.

Anyhow, that's my rant =)
