I completely disagree, zik is the most defensive race by nature (last to shoot), if salvage was removed it would be pointless to play them. One thing that should be looked at is the ziks getting ALL the salvage when there are more defenders, afaik stolen ships dont count as killed so all the salvage goes to the zik alone when stuff is stolen.

Tbh the last good normal zik ship I remember was the Brigand way back in round 26 and the non-steal ships this round are beyond horrible. The problems with roiding certain ziks has less to do with the stats and more to do with circumstances
