Makhil, your observations are correct, your conclusion is too optimistic. As a Cathaar you stun your enemies, while those enemies KILL you. Either you stun 100% or you run. Staying home to see part of your fleet get killed is (generally) useless.
There is no fi pod. But Xan will send Phantoms along to kill your ships if you keep them home if he lands. If you stay home he doesn’t get roids, but will kill your Spiders and maybe some corvettes as well. He’ll land because he expects you to run. If you don’t then he’ll try again next time since you will have less fi/co left.
Against the Cr the fact that you are ineffective in stunning them means that they can steal roids. And if you keep your ships home to stun part of his fleet, you lose ships in the process, while still losing roids.
