maybe, but now there is absolutely no reason for anyone to play anything other than Advent.I fixed that for you, Kruelgor.leadhead, there shouldn't be such a thing as a "late game race". Across all tiers, all races should be equally potent, just potent at different stuff. In 1.03, the Advent were a gamble to survive the first 20 minutes, and then they started to rule. In 1.04, they just rule. Nothing compares to Progenitors with Guardians and Light Frigs...
If that is the intended design of the game, then I can see that the buff is definately needed.
That setup is the way I go as well with one exception. If I am an opponent with TEC, I think I could win with an equal number of robotics cruisers and (not good with the names yet) that big thumper battleship + equal number of frigates. The progenitors are awesome ships, but it seems they do not deliver enough firepower to make your opponent pay when he decides to take his time and snuff out the guardians then go for the throat. They need to be screened by something like (is it the radiance? the damage dealer, first ship to the left in the queue). If it is much later in the game, I dont go anywhere without those heavy cruisers (all the way to the right in the cruiser queue 5 or 6 of them is a can of woop ass)
Then again, I havent been playing long so there are probably alot of actions that I havent learned how or when to do in the battle.
