Return of multiple targets...it's been so long since we've had this, I can't say for sure whether it's good or bad. I got used to single targetting, and I think it made the game more interesting on the whole. Guess we'll find out...DC's will have to step up :/
As I normally play Xan, I'll comment on that race specifically. There seems to be a continuing trend of Xan initiatives going up with each passing round; unfortunately this round is no different. Their Fighter fleet seems pretty well useless against Terrans, though not too bad against everyone else.
I guess the Pulsar is finally dead.
The Frigate fleet looks pretty good, and now with the Ghost having a lower initiative than the Wyvern, Terran BS fleets are (somewhat) more manageable. The Syren is a wildcard though, and with the Nightmare targetting Destroyers before Cruisers, adding some to a DE fleet will cause problems for Xans--despite the increase in ETA it would probably be worth it. Adding them to a BS fleet will prove to be quite deadly, and quite effective.
For that matter, I may just go Terran next round
Anyway, let the comments fly!
