Re: Stat changes for R15

cath targetting is slightly out of whack though rob.

No small ship (fi co) hits big ships(cr bs), and no big ship hits small ships (except of course the scorp, a point i will come to).

thus it's the middle classes which are the work horses, having to target both ends, because they in turn are being targetted by both ends.

now cath is the only race which has no podding ships in this middle class, infact it only has 2 ships in the middle class! which must be very useful for attacking indeed!

it also has its primary roiding fleet in which only one class of ship need be sent, unlike any other race, where it is neccessary to send in a second class for the fleet to be wholey useful (xan need co with the fi, and de with the fr - terran need cr with the bs , or fr with the de not that many try this :/ - there's a lot of co to de ships out there... zik need the cr with the bs well it certainly helps anyway and their fr fleet tends to require the addition of some co ships to be really effective, unless multi racing with a commrade, something applicable to all attacking fleets). they can infact target all ships which would attack them in 1 class with the cr. Add to that they are the only race with a cross ship, (big to small, and it's a stealer) and you can see why actually, they do have a slight stat edge to other races irrespective of tweaking of dmg and armour ratios.

All races, if the targetting stays in this compartmental fashion, should have a middle podding class and 1 other.
