Re: not-quite-JBG's r51 stats
Still think the War frig should be renamed (somebody pointed out there isn't a Pegasus), and that the Peacekeepers ini seems high (for a xan ship, when compared to Broadsword/mantis).

Unless someone points out some glaring oversight, these will be the last changes.

Ter Fr slightly worse, Ter Cr and Bs slightly better, as promised.
ERes on all pods adjusted to match the highest ERes on the ships in their fleet. Example: Xan Fr has the Tzen at 13 and the Bomber at 16. Mirage therefore also has 16 now.
Zik anti-Fr improved slightly.
Updating the beta stats as we speak.

Re: not-quite-JBG's r51 stats
Stats are final. And yes.

Re: not-quite-JBG's r51 stats
For the record I find these stats horribly defensive. The round will stagnate very quickly with these stats, I expect that whomever has the roid lead after week 4 will win the round barring some crazy political moves.

Yeah, because that's totally what happened last time right! I still can't believe CT won that round so easily

Well I certainly wouldn't mind CT winning again.... but I'm not looking forward to the massive teamups necessary to land on some of the big planets later in the round. It's going to get ugly. In the end what you are alluding to is certainly true -- namely that politics will have just as much if not more to do with whether the round stagnates or not as the stats will, but still these stats suit a defensive style of play, which is something I personally abhor.
I much preferred last round's stats, they were very well balanced and attack oriented. With MZ at the helm again I was hopeful he would rework the r30 stats in a similar way, but alas it did not come to pass.

Re: not-quite-JBG's r51 stats
The joke.
If I'd had another week, I would've removed the Mantis. On the other hand, Cats died by the hundreds near the end of round 30, so maybe it'll work out in the end. They look really strong on paper, but it still only hugs.

Re: not-quite-JBG's r51 stats
Caths are going to get a looooooot of incs. I reckon there will be a lot of top cath planets, and then a lot of caths roided absolutely silly.

take alook @ this :
Terran FR - fires @ Fi co FR de CR BS = they fire @ all ships that can target them.
Terran CR - fires @ FR/DE BS/Cr = they fire @ all ships that can target them.
terran BS - fires @ FR/DE BS/Cr = they fire @ all ships that can target them.
----------
Cathaar CO - fires @ Fi co FR de = they fire @ all ships that can target them.
Cathaar DE - Fi co FR CR BS = missing DE targeting, but that dont mater becouse the other class that got DE dont target DE either.
Cathaar CR - fires @ FR/DE BS/Cr = they fire @ all ships that can target them.
------------
Xandathrii - FI - fires @ Fi co FR = Missing DE, but you can build pulsars (co) to alest target DE...
Xandathrii - FR - fires @ Fi co FR de CR BS = they fire @ all ships that can target them.
Xandathrii - BS - fires @ FR/DE BS/Cr = they fire @ all ships that can target them.
------------
Zikonian - FR - fires @ Fi co FR CR BS = Missing DE, if zik goes for FR fleet, you could def for free vrs it with Pillager and Scarab, but with current stats not many ziks will even consider going pure FR but Buccaneer is a very good anti BS/cr for them.
Zikonian - CR - fires @ FR/DE BS/Cr = they fire @ all ships that can target them.
--------------
Eitraides - CO - fires @ Fi co FR de = they fire @ all ships that can target them.
Eitraides - FR - fires @ Fi co FR de = missing CR/BS - def with Marauder,Shadow,Roach,Wyvern and Syren for free.
Eitraides - DE - Fi co FR CR BS = missing DE targeting, but that dont mater becouse the other class that got DE dont target DE either.
Eitraides -BS - fires @ DE BS/Cr = missing FR targeting - def with Buccaneer,Bomber and Chimaera for free.
------------
tbh, i think you failed badly when changing the targeting on etd BS ;-) ok you can still fake attack with etd bs, yes but xan can allso fake def vrs it and they do it for free ;-) as etd dont target xan FR.
etd FR can allso be faked, but its easy to send Marauder,Shadow,Roach,Wyvern and Syren that will def for free
etd DE solo fleet, is poor send with an cath and it gets very good.
same goes for etd CO - you need a cath with you for it to be any good.
----------------
i just looked @ stats for 30 min, said Cath looked very strong ;-) and you did them stronger by lowering the E/R.
i should have looked more closely to what you did with ETD, its caths support race this round. alest in round 30 you had BS now you dont even have that.
-----------
finnal word
YES i know i cant type english, but you do understand ?
YES iam playing Etd, and this is from looking @ 7 gal raids i cant attack alone.

I explained my rationale for changing Etd Bs earlier in the thread.

Neither Bs nor Fr is a viable solo fleet. This was intentional.

Etd De is pretty good.

Fi/Co in general is not very good. I was hesistant to boost them too much.

I did not lower any ship's ERes. In fact, I boosted Xan Fi and nerfed the effs on Cat De.
As I said before, if I'd had more time, I would've nerfed Cat further.

Etd is overrepresented in the top 100, so clearly they have no problem capping roids.

this is ur reson to take away T3 ??
T3 dont realy help etd hit anything ur kidding ?, this T3 makes all the dif in the world.
i agree that etd bs was to strong as it was, but you could have made the broadsword hit DE/FR, that would have forced etd to build more scoprs. insted of the 80% 20% back in round 30 (did only see 2 fleets, from round 30 but they both had alot of Broad.)
or what had happend if you made scrops hit BS/fr and broad CR/DE, alest then etd would had a chance when attacking.
the way you made it, etd are easyer to hit and they cant hit well solo. with any ships
the stats are so defensiv so that if you lose 10% vaule you cant land.
and for top 100 yes, we are @ tick 138 we will talk agian aorund tick 600-700 and see then. ;-)
22 etd top 100 tick 138. - 22% of top 100 is etd
i agree its hard to make stats, and yes i agree bs was to powerfull back in round 30, but i dont agree that you just strip away T3 becouse and i quote " mm. Works for me. The T3 doesn't really help Etd hit anything, anyway."
thats clearly wrong.
you said this as well : " Neither Bs nor Fr is a viable solo fleet. This was intentional." so what ur saying is: the Etd is a support race ?
DE is not that good either, one smulger fleet and you cant land ;-) no mater what fleet comp you have in ur de.
you did remove T3 from broadsword becouse you wantetd to let etd get hit more easy <--- that one i get 100%
what did you do to help there attack ?, you did think about it clearly becouse you said "The T3 doesn't really help Etd hit anything"
i get that every race and classes are balanced vrs each other. and iam sure there are other ships that works like the smulger for etd.
anyway ;-) noting we can do about that now is there ?
i just think the stats failed abit on etd and cath.(32% ffs must be a reson why hughs got pop. ;-) )

My suggestion to counter this would be:
Broadsword T1 = FR, T2 = DE
Shadow T1 = DE, T2 = FR
Gryphon T1 = CR, T2 = BS
The change to the shadow is to prevent Shadows and Broadswords being a clone of eachother, and to slightly boost xan against DE incs. The Gryphon change boosts ETD anti CR as all CR target FR before DE, which makes the Gryphon good anti CR if it's flakked, but not overpowered due to the fact it is out-inited by all CR but ZIK. The gryphon change also slightly weakens etd's anti BS ability, which hurts from being out-inited by the Rogue and the Titan after the broadsword looses it's CR targetting.

(Also, I fixed my Thief ****up.)

ppl still tryed to get you to look into this :

giving the broadsword fr/de or de/fr would give the etd the option of minimal value spread through 4 ships similar to the other races .
team ups with xan bs would be pretty solid mz but as I stated I feel etd bs needs to target fr in some shape to give them a soloing option as the co/fr/de don't really have that option

^^ this is all about this in here.
ETD cant solo. you took away there only solo fleet and gave noting back.
anyway there are noting we can do about this now, "I THINK" you failed on this, but that dont matter much

Seems to me you do less and less research before commenting, how is CATH DE gonna stop zik cr?
and im pretty sure MANTIS (BS) SOLO COVERS VS ZIK CR.

Re: not-quite-JBG's r51 stats
You're never gunna make stats that are "perfect" for all races, I cannot remember a round where people haven't bitched about one race or another either shit or overpowered. Use your heads and come up with strategies that make the stats work for you.

Everyone needs a partner to roid with MT stats. Cath is traditionally the best race to solo with if you are looking at it from that aspect. I've solo'ed quite a bit with my zik fi/co after I (finally) capped pods and it's been pretty successful.
In general, the emp races are too powerful for me this round, especially cath co. It's just weird having one race where the t1 -> t2 drop-off is nothing when it drops 50% for all other races. Cath has a decent balance though I guess, currently 2 co, 2 de and 1 cr cath in the top10. Most of the rest of the top10 is FR forts, which was clearly the best choice to avoid inc (although vipers absolutely buttrapes fr).
Next round should be more attack friendly stats again.
