Indeed there are. One of them said this.... "CHANGE is good, get over it."
Change *can* be a good thing - but not for its own sake.

Phantom - init 4
Harpy - init 5
Banshee - init 5
Phoenix - init 7
Lancer - init 8
Thief - init 20
They do have higher armour though.
(BTW - I agree that they don't have to have BS class pods).

Xan CR is the same as Xan DE last round, two ticks to gather defence no biggy here seeing as a useful CR fleet surely is better than a semi-shit CO fleet.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with Terrans having Fi - they've always had them. And this isn't the first time that Xan have needed to build Cr ships either - although it's the first time Cr has been their main attack fleet.
The question I would ask is what are we hoping to gain from these sweeping changes? For every player who is excited at the thought of having to study an entirely new set of stats and work out the best race and tactics there will be several more who can't be bothered or will just feel overwhelmed.
At the risk of making a statement almost as inane as the one I quoted above...... Most people don't like change. So in my opinion it's better to make small changes than large ones - and it's much better to make them early enough for people to be able to absorb them before they come into effect.
