It will be later today.  The scout bug is SUPER easy to work around, though:

Option 1: use anything but mark i scouts.
Option 2: put your mark i scouts in low-power mode.

Well yeah i do do only short games during this beta but i might as well wait for the next release now.

ACTUALLY i try to ignore the betas but since this is no new i kinda wanted to take the balancing.

Of course i never do ignore the betas because i make the mistake of reading the  change lists.. *sigh*

Havnt finished a single game yet ^^

@Echo35: The counter to Armour Boosters is Laser Turrets.

Armour Ships don't actually appear to have a counter aside from Heavy Bombers...

I'm aware of those, but it's a bit hard to do when it's a planet you're raiding, and building those things once you take over the planet is also hard to do when they have enough firepower being backed up by the Armor Boosters to keep them from constructing.

Haven't you tried that Polarizer ships yet?
I'm pretty sure they ignore armor and have an attack boost based on targets armor.

I don't know what would be good because I havnt managed to play enough but they were way to hard before the nerf.

20 mins to kill a few is a bit extreme ^^
