I saw your video. You have some really great shots. I especially like the split race. It's ashame so many died. However this is not acurate. The boran ships fall victum to even a Raptor. And a Split Panther and 32 Falcons will level a sector when backed up by a battleship and a M7M. Throw on a Split Carrier with 64 Falcon fighters and you can't lose. There are too many birds in the air.
Best advice being a split hero is easy, blow shit up!
The skunk really is a bare bones model. It doesn't even have a GPS to highlight the way. Or targeting software MK 2 to allow target selection and painting from the sector map. It lacks a Trading System Extention to show prices in the sector you are in. The lack of satellites in rebirth is also annoying to the trader/pirate looking for a mark.
