Mongoose
Anyway, regardless I trust Mongoose to get it figured out and set up in an appropriate manor. Even if the Vuldrok should prove to be a bit more "robust" than average, from long experience I know that an adjustment will be made at a future date after sufficient feedback has been received.
Case in point,
The Sagittarius Cruisers Priority Level adjustment.
The adjustment of the White Star weapon range as well as nervous other weapon tweaks to ships over the years.
The revamp of the fighters in Second edition so they would prove more true to the TV series.
Many other minor adjustment, additions, and clarifications.
By the time we have the full 10 fleets available to the community there is no doubt that some adjustment will need to take place to bring all the fleets into better relation to each other. Power creep is a classic problem with game design, as new ideas of how fleets might distinguish themselves from each other are introduced. This is very clearly seen in MMO's who upon released the various balanced sides often prove to be anything but. Do remember that this is something of a journey, Mongoose has again and again proven that they listen to the input from the community and their play-testers. However there is a time element involved. Just because there are a few loud voiced of dissension does not mean there is a problem. Much like my on-going argument that Raiders are too weak or there point cost too high. I have made this case, and others from the community have agreed to various degrees with me. But this is far from the whole community saying there is a problem. No doubt Mongoose will take time to examine the issue. Perhaps a future rule clarification or modification will make these vessels preform exactly as intended without need of adjusting there stats. Perhaps eventually the issues we have raised will be acknowledged as being valid and an appropriate adjustment will be made to rebalanced these ships. Regardless I have full faith in Mongoose and there desire to keep playable balance across all their fleets. Unlike "The British Game Company who MUST not be Named" Mongoose has never done the Unbeatable Fleet of the Month method of selling products. So please be patient.
