Complaint about anti-structure units

I know it's a common complaint, but I -need- to put my 2 cents in....

They SUCK. They ruin the game. After spending hours building up a gravity well, 15 antistructure units can destroy everything in it within seconds. Long before s fleet from the next gravity well can get there, it's all gone. I fucking hate them. I truly hate them from the bottom of my gut. I hate them so much they make me feel ill everytime I decide to play against a TEC or Advent AI.

I mean OK, lets think about this logically, the Titans aren't even a tenth as strong as antistructure units.If those little weak ass Vasari bombers are supposed to fill the same role, don't you think that antistructure units are overpowered? Well, they are. They need about a 16th of their current damage output and half their current range. It's totally obscene.

I can't beat Advent or TEC on Vicious, and every single freaking it's the Anti-structure units. I have beaten both on Cruel a few times when I heavily micromanaged destroying enemy antistructure units. You literally have to ignore everything else to target those ships first and it takes the whole fleet to do it. It's not possible to split your fleet between worlds and defeat antistructure units before they destroy everything. I hate them. I really truly hate them.

They ruin the game. They take the fun out of the game every single time. Instead of having fun playing it just pisses me off. So I've decided that until they officially get fixed I'm playing anymore. My goal has always been to have fun and not to get angry.

Considering that fact that the game is past its cycle (aka no longer supported, hence no new patches) you will be not playing for a long time.

Fighters are the key to defeating anti-structure units. I take on three or four Vicious AIs regular. Yeah, they pump them units out but its not as bad as you think.

Oh , OK. I know it's a really negative post, but like the first line said, I just needed to get my 2 cents worth in. I did some googling and found a way to disable antistructure units. Question is now about balance, Vasari bomber that fill that role, but do TEC and Advent bombers?

There doesn't appear to be any good fix.

why would the devs change something you can easily mod yourself.
