yes. Yes it has.
The triangle finally makes sense.



Except.


Core bombers dont list fighters as a weakness. I think fighters need a boost.

There are no core fighters, I am pretty sure, hence why they are not listed. Ships only list strong/weak data for other ships that are the same tier as them.

There are a lot of ships without core versions. Only about 1/3 of the ships in the base game have one. It was partly what would be most interesting to play against, and partly what I had graphics for. In the expansion, a larger percentage have core ships because it is all of them that would be interesting to play against at that level.

I should rephrase that.


No core versions of the core unit triangle?

It just seems.. wrong. Its like playing chess without rooks or something...
