Does anybody else think that the current ships for each of the races are too similar?

Their bonuses make all of the diffrent classes quite similar, And i think it would be cool if the races affected their ships bonuses in diffrent ways.

like: Cravers +20% HP, and Sophon +5% accuracy per number of ships in fleet.

Besides that the enormous benefit from increased tonnage limit makes the small class of ships completely obsoleted despite their benefits. Destroyers are nice for finding those resistance holes though.

What? you know you can use the increased tonnage on smaller ships too?

I know I can use the increased tonnage modules and the empire bonuses, but the base tonnage on the later hulls is so much larger.

True, but they still make good cannon fodder at the very least.

My experience thus far has shown that the amount of destroyers you can have far offset the tonnage limit. With the stronger weapons of the endgame, particularly missiles, it is far more cost effective to just have fleets of destroyers that die but can kill everything else practically guaranteed. It is so frustrating to enter a battle with 2 Dreadnaughts against 6-8 destroyers and still come out the loser. Once I figure out how exactly defense and counter-measure ratios work I may be able to find a way to avoid this.

Beams against shields, kineticks against deflectors and missiles against flaks.

If the ennemy has the right weapon against you (we can imagine that you haven't flaks), well missiles will deal a huge amount of damages to your ship.

That's why you need to have all protections on your ships.
