Part of what karnak said... and chuut. Basically, u enter 2282 and if u arnt flying X u arnt pvp competitive. So all the other stuff is pointless. Besides, we had CX's costing the same as a heavy and are better than BC's which costed more.
If they are rare, they shouldnt be able to fleet together and they should cost a pretty penny. Either that or restrict them more. Soemthing... I like flying the non-x ship releases in 82 and 83. With this new X tech, all that is gone.
Oh well... to each his own.
