Sins needs a new update to rebalance vasari....
The vasari have way too much advantage...namely the assailant. Weapons should not go thru shields....its that simple..wtf is the point of a shield when the enemy can fire right thru it w/ a cheap quickly built frigate. At the very least a new research tech to help prevent it should be implemented that was available w/ no more than 2 military labs required and doesnt cost an astronomical amount.
Seriously though....they already have the ability to get FREE ships... why should they have the most effective weapon at such a low cost or tech requirement.
