Dramatic SFB: Bringing the band back together

Thu Nov 14 09:01:44 PST 2019

The only race that i feel is unbalanced in Y160 are the Pavarian. They
remains quite strong because of their QWT.

Other plasma race only get their Pl-S/F/PPD later on, Klingon don't get
their B refit and stuck with slow drones, Kzintis don't get their C refit
and stuck with slow drones as well, Hydans lack their refit and don't get
St-2 for a while.
Carni are stuck with slow DB and Lyrans don't have capacitor and tri-hulls.
Tholians get pretty god ships but lack heavier units later on. As for Feds,
they don't have + refits and are stuck with photons (which is a curse by
itself)

Jindarians and Vudars are also quite powerfull.
