sure i know about #beta but there has always been a forum discussion aswell so everyone can get involed in the creation of the next round stats. I am sad that i was not able to get online to help with the development of this set of stats. But it must be said that beta very rarely produces accurate results on the ships stats imo, purely based on ithe fact it is a speed round with a very limited amout of players with a lot of them playing to win rather than to test. I can see that zik Bs is a very viable option but the rest seem to not only make a second attack fleet unviable, (without relying on captureing enough ships which is hard especially in the upper eshalons of the game) but also a decent defence is unviable. There are only 2 non zik fleets that can't land either for free (including those which shoot the hell out of zik ships b4 they can steal or attack) or a game of chicken (and it is normal for the zik who comes out worst in a game of chicken) and then on top of that the traddtional zik on zik based on those with the better fleet composition (I alwaysed liked the fact that a smaller zik with a better fleet composition could attack and beat many bigger ziks) has also been removed aswell.

I know it is to late to change anything stats wise and unfortunately i was unable to get online earlier to express my veiws due to the fact i was moveing house. I am sorry if my examination does not match most peoples veiws on the stats but i purely look to see where i am wrong so it is possable to play zik this round.

these are just my observations based on the stats and are untested please bring to my attention any errors or anything i have missed. At the moment i would not recomend zik in this round to anyone.
