Yeah - scales and pretenders were the most popular changes with the Dom2 version, in part because they're the simplest to analyze. I understand that pretenders are now more complicated because of the awake/dormant/imprisoned uber-bless fiasco, but these two areas are still the easiest to make corrections to, imo. With pretenders, there's still absolutely worthless chassis's that no sane player would take in a MP game unless they purposely were handicapping themselves by doing so.

With scales, the base game still has no-brainer choices (okay, _little_ brainer choices, since there are a few nations / setups you might want to veer from them for).
