But I digress... The balance between the two factions is fine as it is now, and to those who say that it isn't: The Outcasts aren't the primary enemies of the IMG, and balancing the IMG vessels after Outcast specs might be a mistake since the IMG operate in Bretonia and the Omegas as well as the Taus.
Correction. The Outcast capital ships should not be the primary enemies of the IMG. If things worked as they should, OC would be pirating the snot out of us with fighter, bomber and gunboat heavy packs. Corsairs would do the same to us in Dublin, Cambridge and the Omegas. IMG's defenses should primarily be geared towards snub and light cap defense.
As for GRN indies hitting IMG hard - meh. If it becomes a problem we'll deal with it. Either by deploying the IMG heavy bombers against them (new toy for us in 4.86 - hell on caps but should be easy pickings for fighters) or kiting them with a group of Argi. We'll manage.
I'll grant you the IKN caps are a bit powergamish - but there's no other way to control OC caps deciding to camp out at Java. You'll also not see them in T37, since that's outside the ZOI for KNF.
