hey, those look like the ships that migrated from beta. any clue on additional effects on ships such as blast points, smaller missles but larger explosions (sry had to bring this up but the missles look so harmless when exploding with a firecracker effects).
i have to stress that the tec obviously did came out of a peacefull trade coalition order, straight to the jaws of hell against a powerful ancient race and advance advent techs. this explains the reason behind the nature of tecs war crafts. maybe in a patch or expansion, i'm hoping that IC will lean tecs military hardware towards to a more capable warcrafts that can handle advance race such as vasari or advents. instead of relying on a cargo crate looking cruiser with bolted machine guns.
just a thought.
