This question is inspired by the "Is there such a thing as game balance" thread that was started a few weeks ago.
IMHO, ACTA is based on the analogy that Fleet A can beat Fleet B who can beat Fleet C as opposed to two equal whiners, with equal complaints, with equal grievances each having approximately a 50% chance at whining. Indeed in some matchups, Shadows vs Narn or Shadows vs Vorlons for example, things have to go just about perfect for the Narn or the Vorlons to whine. And these aren't the only cases.
My question is - All things being equal (temperment, bad luck, etc) is there be a 50% chance of whining for either side? Please don't debate whether you think I am correct in my thinking or not but whether you believe the game as is, is as equal as you CAN get.
At this point, IMO, I don't think this is the case. I'm just curious if I am part of a minority who thinks this or a majority.
In your answers, explain why and also explain which list supports your answer (SFOS, tourney list or both). Additionally, any examples of fleets not being equal ore being equal would be a great benefit as well.
Thanks and I am looking forward to your answers...
