In r13 the problem was Cutlass being high init but atleast it was steal so with enough cutlass you could atleast get ships for your roids.
Now the ship is scarab which doesnt steal, doesnt have use in attacking (cept flak) and has overal low stats (ok that is quite normal for cath none EMP so I dont mind bad stats).
this scarab is comparable with the sentinel from rnd 11, too bad too build. only difference is that in r11 xan would have fireblade to fall back on late rnd. Cath have nothing to fall back on.

yes it does need boosting a bit.
The other problem was that looking at Cr closely, they suck.
The best thing I could see to make Cr more playable is to:
Xan
swap the peacekeeper and broadsword over, and change the EMP init so that it fires after the roach
Zik
Change the marauder to init 4, so that they shoot after the guardian.
This makes the guardian + cr combo viable.
