    Stealth and a prepared opponent.

    We've had the same problem. Its not that it is too powerful its just that it is too random. Sometimes the defender doesn't get their worth out of a ship while sometimes the attacker doesn't really feel like they are playing when they just can't get through the stealth. What if stealth was...
