So what was the final ruling for fighter bombers? What was the one we like better?
That reminds me of the Tau, of course. Something that has been bothering me about Mantas.
If they could lose their resilient status, that would go a long way to making the Korvattra just about perfect as a fleet, along with -2 ions on the Hero and buffs to the Merchant.
Then there is no need to limit or increase cost of the Explorer.
My reasoning is thus: The supposed reason for the manta being Resilient is its size and sophistication. I see this as flawed reasoning.
A Fury interceptor is around 70 meters long, and the Starhawk bomber is larger still, small ships in their own right.
Then, one marker represents not just one, but a squadron of these vessels, 3-5 seeming to be the average, depending on class. These ships are as large as the Manta.
My point is, the Manta should be considered to be flying in squadrons as the other ships just to be counted as a full marker, much less resilient.
But lets say a lot more resources go into the Manta, much more than the usual bomber. Then we could say that it by itself has the power of a squadron. Thats a stretch, but it certainly is more of a stretch to suggest that one Manta is more resilient than a squadron of its counterparts.
