Neinzul Youngling Tigers

Alright. Neinzul Youngling Tigers. Or PzKpfw Striped Kitty, as I like to call them. Yea, I know, they weren't in service at that precise time, but still. DAMN!

What can't those kittens do? So they're slower than the other Younglings, and lose effective service life by wasting time en route. But they're still faster than nearly all other fleet ships. They're tougher than the other Younglings and any standard triangle ship, for that matter. They have higher DPS than bombers (At the cost of hull type bonuses), but unlike them can be used in systems covered by (especially high-mark) ion cannons, because they're Immune To Instant Kill. And to top it all off, they're dirt cheap.

ROMMEL VERY MUCH. I hadn't tried them so far because I never actually looked at their stats (or used them for any other reason), but now they're advanced to the position of my non-plus-ultra favourite bonus ship type within a single game.

And although it hurts me to doubt my darlings' rightful place at my right hand, I have to ask...

...aren't they a little OP?

Dunno, they still have a general DPS of 109.8k => 197.1k => 262.1k.  I generally prefer commandos over the tigers, since they have a higher general DPS:  156.8k => 281.6k => 374.4k.  The HP/armour (MK3 tiger has 546k HP vs commando 336k HP) doesn't make quite a difference IMO, since they're easily replaceable, but I suppose the tiger advantage is that it's a lot less expensive than bombers as a replacement.

Whoa, this is pretty cool.

Youngling Tigers autotargeting logic prioritizes anybody using Marque.

@Shrugging Khan: first thanks for showing me a new awesome band. Second, as another player who uses the tigers a lot, I have to agree they are strong, not op in my opinion though, kinda like a similar unit (awesom- i mean auto bombs)

Maybe the other nienzul units need a few tweaks to bring them in line with the ultra fast-cheap-suicide-space tanks
