If someone could just tell me how this is an even matchup, I’d appreciate it. My opponent has completely neglected ships and I’ve worked hard on them... so I have no chance against his toons in ...
Yes it seems a bit unfair, but I put as much stock in you having almost double the amount of 10+ speed mods than him having double zetas/g12 (without knowing exactly what those zetas are, especially in 3 v 3 combat).
I wouldn't give up on this one. A guy that focused on developing characters yet not putting enough focus on mods might not be as big an obstacle as you fear.
