Seconded. Currently fast raid and/or ambush fleet is a first pick, since the ships are immune to pretty much anything except paralysis, are fast, cheap *and* have high hp and damage. Right now, a 20strength raider/dagger fleet can eventually win against at least tripple enemy size, assuming a factory is reinforcing. I don't believe any other composition is capable of doing that. Some of potential balancing factors for raider/dagger: - Have way lower durability - Have lower armor to get punished by anti-light damage (<=40mm) - Be a tad more expensive (cca raptor cost) |

Another unit I've failed to mention and could use rebalancing is the warbird frigate. This frigate is as fast as a Raid or Apparition frigate, but has the same hull and shield strength as an assault frigate. |

To me warbirds seem fairly balanced (albeit strong in early game), since their damage is negligible. They are a fast, durable disabling ship, but trying to have them actually kill something is straight up tragic. The only reason to ever shoot them is to avoid their disable, which in my mind justifies their bulky stats. |

Thanks! * The shield points of all the raiders and their variants have been dropped dramatically, while their hull points remain the same. ** Additionally, the metal costs of raiders have been almost doubled. This extra specialization and power of them, when compared to V-wings is now something you have to have a more robust economy to support. ** And finally, their armor rating has been dropped from 50mm on most of them to 30mm, and from 30mm on the drones down to 10mm, making them vulnerable to anti-light-armor attacks. |
