I bought 2 Hyperions and a box of starfuries yesterday. I figure what the hell, they get the most ships (albeit spread over 3 fleet lists), the best fighters, the best scout, Missile Varients, potentially the best warship in the re-designed Warlock, and no doubt they will get more cool stuff in second ed, next thing you know they will have minibeams, adaptive armour and quad damage weapons at their disposal, so why play anything else?!
I've sold out :-(

Me too, one of them came with some fin damage. I also need to loot some BFG turrets from somewhere though.
Welome to EA - my second favorite fleet!

if the EA are so great, howcome I can barely fight the Minbari, Centauri or the ISA to a standstill, have about a 50-50 success rate against the Narn, and admittedly a decent win rate against dilgar and Drazi?

Should be able to beat the Dilgar, no?

The EA are not 'so great' some people just get a bit annoyed cos Mongoose do so much for the EA fleet while adding little or nothing to the other races.
Personally I think Mongoose should stop poking the EA and making sweeping changes. Little tweaks here and there are one thing but there is a limit....
As for the examples:
Minbari, are actually fair in my oppinion but a little hit and miss depending on how the dice go.
Centauri, sorry but theres no two ways about this, the Centauri, if they go for the beam armed ships and varients are just too good. The 'Beam Team' can be beaten of course but its bloody hard and really doesnt make for a very interesting style of game.
Narns, are fine.
ISA, shouldnt really give Earth too much trouble. Interceptors are VERY effective at stopping white stars inflicting damage and you can field LOTS of fighters. WS HATE fighters. Victories are just scary but then thats hardly a specific problem only EA have
Dilgar, are actually a very nasty fleet if your opponent knows how to use them right. Otherwise theyre interceptor fodder. Also the Dilgar need to exploit their superweapon. It starts with Tag and ends with Rath.....
Lastly Drazi. Drazi can work very well again but they are not as straightforward a fleet as people think and thats why they lose alot of the time.
