If you have a weakly armoured ship firing after a conventionally armoured ship and both have roughly the same (bad) firepower, clearly that's going to result in the weak ship being totally written off given the current combat engine.
Thus, if you're going to have a low armoured xan ship, give it the good xan init/firepower to compensate. Initiative is important, but particularly so for Xans.

Very true. My point was that Xan has been both nerfed and changed, but the latter is not necessarily the bad thing here, it's the first that bothers me.
