We think it was and it is the desired outcome that the Xeno player-base wants. The team must understand and respect that notion and work with it rather than against it. After-all, it is in everyone's best interests to give factions freedom of interpretation. Even if it's incredibly asinine to put heavy swords on every ship.
Your opinion is noted, but we will have to respectfully decline such advice and instead assert that the current direction is in fact correct from our perspective. If there are quality-issues on a technical level then we will certainly work them out. Otherwise, we see no reason to drastically change anything worked up thus far.
It should once more be noted that the Xenos have had centuries to come up with as many failed designs as they feel necessary. Having existed for so long, it is thus highly likely that disgruntled engineers would be among our ranks. There also exist news articles that reinforce this line of thinking, stating that the Xeno problem is not one of expertise, but of tools. Tools that we could now very well afford to purchase in small amounts and thus enable the construction of fighter-craft such as this one.
