That would make sense, but then Gallia lacks a cruiser - which they need.
I'll leave it for the Devs to decide, not like I could influence it anyway unless I could make a new cruiser model, which I can't. Just that I'd totally go for a GRN cruiser, if they had a decent ship of that class and I feel like Gallia is more of a "heavy cruiser"-house.
The Praefect was always supposed to excel with arcs. I'll have another look at its arcs and maybe buff that up to keep variety. Storta will be evaluated later.
Arcs are nice and fine, but the Vidar and the Rheinland Cruiser have both decent arcs while having better armor and being more agile (not even mentioning size).
I'm not asking for a major agility bump, just suggesting to make the ship equal in agility to the Vidar. A bit better arcs (Vidar has horrible arcs downwards) make up for the lesser armor, hopefully.
And both the Storta and Thanatos have a good turret count, yes, but agility makes up a major part of the defense in this game, sadly. Even the many turrets they have aren't of too much use, when they run out of energy too fast for them to be useful - they are both medium cruisers. Here as well: I'm not suggesting an agility bump to light cruiser levels, I think they'd do fine around Vidar to Rheinland Cruiser levels. Thanatos a bit slower than the Vidar, Storta faster.
Besides that, I hope my other notes will be somewhat considered as well over time.
