They've been consistently at the bottom of the statistics for quite some time, the stats there are only from the previous month.
But yeah, cc team doesn't like balancing based on facts, rather idiot voob suggestions.
This isn't new, Bios has been unpopular since the day I joined. The only reasons anybody ever wanted to play Bios at all were the unkillable economy and assorted cheese - if people wanted a fun gameplay experience, they'd pick a
real faction. Now that it's no longer Easy Mode for commanders, there's no reason not to pick an interesting faction instead.

Supply facts and I'm sure they'll be taken into account. And I mean statistically meaningful stats not the win loss board because that's worse than useless as you well know.
Oh and RT went Giga recently too. Even with no Boost 1 it was powerful enough for our needs, maybe SysX need a bit more Patty practise

And so spidey's plot to keep the powerful secrets of Giga ignored by the masses starts to be revealed.

which has covered this area quite nicely.
In my defense It's in the "Rants" forum and was made in the middle of 2008, so I wasn't aware of the threads existence or I wouldn't have made such a topic. I was just curious is all and was expecting different factions being thrown around, but that's the fun of discussion, I get to see what the communities or at least, the ones who post, opinion on the current factions and fuels my curiosity.

Now you got CC in my General, no want!
Any faction is capable of winning, but in many ways it is more about the commander and the team. Focus on getting good, since your skill with the game won't change (while factions/tech will).

It is pinned at the top of Rants, though, so it stays visible

The question is a valid one with a valid answer, just not a simple one:

i hear IC is a really weak faction
it can't even get a home rip or a tech base up on a 20+ sector map
it's such a shame
