In case anyone gets me wrong Jintao is great at running the Stats dept. He really knows his stuff, what he needs though is people who play PA or don't want to be sheep to argue against the constant sterilisation and need to fit everything into set boxes.

For example I would love to know if the much heralded rd 50 mz stats fit into the efficiency macro that he uses. I remember the Pegasus was an insane ship that was stand alone but OP beyond belief. It was nerfed via it's inability to be used in an ally strat effectively rather than removing what made it great as a ship. I think more emphasis should be put into this way of deciding how viable a set is rather than via a macro. This is where a team of less analytical and more passionate people would be good to balance choices
I agree, but a blend of third party stats people and players who have been playing for many rounds sounds like the best route to go. This would allow you to marry balance and depth.

I would only worry about stats influencing from the players that are currently playing and advising the third party stats people.

Who watches the Watchmen?
