Ok, so I finally got around to checking Isil's stats out.

Black Widow only works against solo Zik Cr, making it useless. Suggest changing it into a high D/C De. At least then most Cr and Bs fleets fire at it with T2.

Zik has 3 T1 anti-Bs ships and no T1 anti-Cr ones. I'd also like to see better cross-pollination between Zik De and Zik Cr (no one likes stealing outside of their roiding classes with their roiding fleets). Switch targets on the Bucc?

4 Ter De is too many. It forces you to split your resources over too many ships, reducing the overall efficiency of your fleet. I see 2 possible solutions.

1) Remove the Pegasus (or move it to Fr or Cr), remove VIper T2 (solving the 0loss issue, even if it's only EMP), remove Thief T2 and removing the Devastator and Sentinel altogether. This gets rid of a lot of T2 in these stats, and makes De a little less defensive.

2) Merge the Pegasus with the Drake or War Frigate. It's worth noting that Ter De is pretty damn strong, and this change would require some reworking of the Inits to make it less so.

Having a ship called 'War Frigate' in De class is weird. Rename.

Xan only has 1 anti-Fr ship and does not need Siege at any point. Suggest adding an Init 7 Cr -> Fr ship. If you remove the Sentinel, Xan also only has 1 anti-De ship. Suggest adding an Init 7 Bs -> De ship.

Etd only has 1 anti-Bs ship, the Investor, and it only fires at Bs at T2. Add an Init 6 De -> Bs ship.

By the way, why are we talking about potential r56 stats in the thread for r55?
