The roiding classes you outlined aren't quite set in stone. Ter has had Co/De/Bs pods, Cat Co/Fr/Cr, Xan Fi/Co/Fr/De, and Zik and Etd have had pods in every class. You're right, though, in that no matter how you assign them to the races, you'll end up with 2 classes that only 1 race has a roiding fleet in.

Adding a race would make that issue go away. However, such a race would need a unique trait. I've spent some time thinking about that the last few weeks, and I can't think of any.

Another solution would be to give 2 races 3 pods. Terran and Cathaar would be my choice. Xan would get too strong with an extra pod, and ZIk and Etd can steal. This would also open the doors to some more variety between the races. There's no reason why every race needs to have an SK. Replacing them with resource stealers for some races be an option.
