Re: Fix cathaar by adding more killships

I'm quoting you so you can't just delete that post when the next round proves you wrong. Once more Cathaar will be over or under powered as they have always been.

HEY GUYS YOU KNOW WHAT NO-ONE HAS EVER BEEN ABLE TO FIX OR BALANCE CATHAAR AND NEITHER CAN YOU.

Why not drop Cat and add an extra stun ship to Etd? Much easier to balance which, let's face it, Cathaar never have been.
