I have been looking at the new Stingfor a while now, and I do think it is slightly OP. When I look at the numbers for Weapon to PR and Hull (normalized with resistances) to PR it outperforms all rank 8 ships in the game... even the UW Eins, which is very similar. And it is much better than the Fenrir, which is a paid ship.

I feel it that at least it should have no defense added, which would also make it less of a spam ship, or the hull should be lowered. Given the high range, hull and missile/kinetic resistances it is very spammable and hard to kill. It is too much better than the Hammerhead with the extra range I think.

Am I mistaken or did the Sting actually have 1000 missile damage prior to the update, not 800?

And yeah upkeep is something we are keeping an eye on, looking to change that around the time we adjust base PR for tax empires :)

At first glance the new Ray looks like a slightly worse Hammerhead to me. All ships seem very useful and I generally like the idea of making more of the ships useful. These ships seem more stacking friendly than spammable.

Maybe you could consider looking at upkeep for the neutral ships for the guards. They basically cant use any of them exept strafez due to the much higher upkeep to income compared to other races. That might encourage guards to make more versatile fleets too and seem to fit well with the idea of getting races to have more practical ship options.
