Apollo has recently stirred up interest in the E class, the reason why i halted the project was due to the fact that they would more than likely be only used by Miners and a few terrans, and decreasing their price tag to make them more available to other races would only make them that much better for the richer races.

but Apollo threw in the idea of what if we did them like we did with the UW class and tailor make their upkeep and minerals cost according to the race that has them. I`ve wanted to do this for all neutrals for quiet some time but we don`t have nearly the ship slots to make a set of neutrals per race, not even close.
but what we would have enough ship slots after doing away with light frigate and Light corrvette to do either 1 E class per race, or 2 E classes shared by race ( ie one adjusted for miner upkeep ratio .95 ish , one adjusted for viral/terran upkeep ratio .75-.8 and one adjusted for guard maru and collective. upkeep ratio.35) the only difference for each of these ships would be their upkeep and mineral cost all else would remain the same.
So the question to you is would you like to see this, remember that Light class would be deleted except lfd and it would be moved to C class and probably renamed accordingly.
if you would like to see this done which one or two of the 4 E class would you prefer, myself i`m thinking Aurora and Pulsar would probably make the best two candidates either way.
There is of course the option of leaving things as is. the initial reaction will determine if i will continue to put in the work to find happy mediums for upkeep and mineral cost and rebalancing across the board if needed

I Support ! i like the E.Quasar Cruiser and E.Pulsar Destroyer ! because i like the range lol
I would support this move . I`m favoring the nova and the pulsar as my two choices. I feel a range 10 neutral ship is op and takes away from the terran class`s uniquely designed p.class. I also at a glance feel some of these are a little op to begin with. I also feel that the new E.class should complement the F.class and when comparing the two the E.class wins hands down, so I think its a little stat heavy in some respects but I will run some numbers and post more on it later. All in all this is a great idea and especially so for A.minor as it will give them an added advantage being that they are a little light in the missile department.
