Do you call it horror? And what you tell about it? Just small buffed Hegemony fleet. I see more than 15 battleships on one Hegemony fleet. Its madness.
Or it?
Templars were never VERY terrible opponent. On the contrary, earlier, in 0.7 they were very weak. The player could kill with 50% of their fleet on one destroyer. ONE. DESTROYER. Destroyer just like Hammerhead, Enforcer, Legionary/Centurion(II).
And then player could kill ANY fleet on the majority of battleships or really good cruiser(Modded Dominator from IBB). They could be exterminated using only one battleship of type Conquest, Onslaught, Victory, Maestrom and Paragon.
Now, in 0.8 they became stronger. And if now the player receives very powerful ship with HP regen it ALL BALANCE pulls down.
This HP regen never helps AI with fights but makes the player too strong. TOO STRONG.
For Templars not need a HP regen, for hes need a like 25% buff on hull and armor or better matrix efficiency on cruser/battleship ship sizes.
