<p>Perhaps so. But efforts have been made to keep some sort of
parity between empires. Everyone does it differently: Feds get
scads of fighters, ISC get their awesome ships, Tholians get web
casters, etc...<br>
</p>
<p>Some empires don't do as well. Klinks get ... Battleships.
Romulans get expensive very-heavy-cruisers. Lyrans get early PFs.
The WYN finally get real warships. You play the hand you're dealt
and get a reputation if you can make your neighbors sing to your
tune if you have an "inferior" empire. It really is about sticking
to your empire's schtick (your "strength zone") and staying there.<br>

<p>That's a feature, not a bug. The X-Tech era is supposed to be
about getting away from the attrition units because they stop
being effective against the new systems.</p>
