___Advantages of viral___
Only race besides guards who have chemical attack ships, expect viral got range on those things.
Viral get their pick of ships from 3 different races, a unique advantages to pick the best ships from 3 different races.
Viral is not a hard race to play, easy money, easy ships, you choice of ships, easily selection of colonies to cluster, can capture infest & use C1-C3s unlike collective.
Viral can have a selection of ships with all 8+ range or go with all capital ships with hull & no-retal ability, either case is unfair to other races & why many people choice to play viral is for that unique ability.
Viral were once upon a time a more UBER race than it is now, but i still think it has many perks other races dont. And the ability to pick your ships even if they change only slightly isnt a big deal. The only new ship change that i see would effect anyone was the redesign of the Lakko cause its no longer the same starbase it once was & i dont see any viral using it so i dont think they can complain about that ship changing on them. Seriously all the ship changes that happen around here are minor, nothing big & serious. Yes it effect the ships combat abilities vs other races, most to improve balance, not to be UBER.
Really im lost on how you viral wanna change ships for free, thats like me saying i want my older A.miner ships before they updated them, i want my pick of what updates i want. It aint going to happen, deal with the changes, and if you dont like them restart, alot of people do. If you dont want to restart live with it. There has been no major changes to ships that has effected viral except D/G.class which was resolved over a year ago. Viral is still a superior race compared to many & i really dont see the fairness or serious need to reset select viral empire ships at this moment.
