For sure, I have notice this problem also. |

I haven't checked out 3.717 yet, but are you throwing bombers at guardians that have a hull that bombers are good against? Flak Guardians should be countered with fighters (or frigates, because frigates are immune to AoE; the fighters will need constant repair, but have a damage bonus). |

Seem better in 3.718? |

I haven't had much luck. I am posting a new screenshot. Hybrid hives level V, this is in a planet adjacent to my starting planet. I just lost my whole fleet. |

I will test this again, but I did build several of the initial starships before I invaded. I think what makes my play style a little bit different is that I don't research riot control starships immediately or even spend my initial research on starships at all. From a balance perspective, should the first planet be able to be taken with the initial units? That is the test I performed. I think with the changes to the regeneration chamber, the idea of using fleet ships in a variety of scenarios becomes a lot more tenable. Also, the buff to the bomber starship should help. |

"From a balance perspective, should the first planet be able to be taken with the initial units?" Yes, definitely, at least on reasonable difficulties and as long as you're not talking about a mk IV planet here ;) |

Yes, it's a normal planet. I'm going to build the capacity of all the initial units and try again. It may also be a AI type. Difficulty seven. Experimentalist and I forget the other one. |

And does it have guardians? We very recently changed it so that guardians are not seeded on planets-adjacent-to-the-human-homeworld, but I don't know that it would "correct" previous saves. But yea, I'd figure that on diff 7 versus a MkI planet on a non-excruciating AI type (perhaps there should be a category select for that) I'd expect victory with significantly less than full caps of fighters, bombers, and missile frigates. With recent balance changes maybe need to throw in a light starship or two. |

I think it's safe to mark this one as done: * The health for all fleet ships is now 40% higher. The intent here is to make them a little sturdier, and that's hard to do when their base health is just so low. |
