I don't think they are supposed to be equal. They are Campaign only and registered only (and still Alpha). I think they are meant to be in the center of a "circle Jerk". Sort of a one vs the field kind of thing.
There should be no moaning over an Alpha anyway. Once they get to Beta, I will give you all moaning rights that you want.
All of these games are being studied by .nu. Tactics are only just being developed fully. You have to have a good picture of your Frankenstein before you go about changing it too radically. However many games I'm into it, my tactics are only beginning to solidify now. I wouldn't have stood up nearly as well against such opponents as yourselves only a few games ago.
It's also a *big* difference between Melees, random 12, and circle 12 games. The extra real estate in the 12 player games really helps the Wasp IMO, and the circle's predictability even more so (than standard races).
Also, don't think of Stingers as ships. Stingers aren't durable goods. IE not ships per se. They are consumables, just like torpedoes and fighters. They just work a little differently, and I think there in lies a lot of the problem. Learning curve on defense.
Are the Wasps too strong and will they be toned down? Yes, most probably. But, if the goal is to make a *boogeyman* race, I don't think it will be nearly as much as people think.
