[K-W]

Keizari is pretty much right on. Xan have dropped back into the pack as far as far as self-defence is concerned, but they aren't a bad race per se. While this will certainly be a different round for xandrathii now that they have a wide open hole in thier defences, an effective fi roiding fleet means that xans shouldnt have to rely on roid hoarding and can replace them at a reasonable rate. So xans are pretty much in the same boat as ter or cath, can be roided, but can roid back.

This may however mean that xans will have a hard time outbuilding caths as well as previous rounds so co and cr roiding fleets may be more effective on xans for longer into the round.

I do think there are going to alot of active terrans in the universe, so the peg threat is very real, but de is easier to get defence for than fighters so it probably is a wash. More threats = more targets.

Its frustrating for those used to playing xandrathii where how you design your defence and not the innate stats determine who will attack you, but just because xan have holes in thier fleets like everyone else doesnt make them less playable than everyone else.
