PRICE DETERMINES THE VICTOR

There is a possibility the new variations of races will feature e.g Vasari with powerful expensive ships (original:royalists) and Vasari with weaker and cheaper ships (rebels). This pattern will play out for all the other races.

If this is the case i hope to see vasari expensive vs advent expensive vice ver...

I would imagine advent ship engineers finaly packing some serious hull and armor to their new expensive ships. 

"You are basically given a choice for each race (royal or rebels) to have A smaller but lethal fleet or a cheaper larger force. "

Best Matchups

Heavy Vasari vs Heavy Advent

Light vasari vs light tec

Heavy Tec vs light advent

Although this introduction might favor the advent it might also make the Vasari a super race with cheaper lighter ships packed with lower damage dealing phase missiles yet in numbers can overwhelm entire fleets. When it comes to light factions i would choose Vasari instead of advent and for a heavy i'd choose advent. 

!!!THIS WILL AT LAST MAKE THE GAME BALANCED! ITS ALL ABOUT THE COST OF PURCHASING SHIPS..
