Comparison of two races
Steltek
*advanced shield technology that confed weapons can’t penetrate, nor do I think do nephilm (this is just guess work).
*weapons fairly advanced better then plasma weapons inferior to fusion weapons & AM. They can penetrate their own shields so it makes up the lack of extra punch. Drone had 5 if I am not mistaking.
Btw what we have seen so far in privateer: derelict battleship, drone, scout & fighter; point to very advanced technology more superior to nephilm.
Nephilm
*advanced in plasma technology, have the ability to detect cloaked ships with naked eye (id like to see them try to lock a missile onto a cloaked ship), some shield disrupting technology, but it appears that newer confed ships are not affected. Must be the new shields generators the confed developed.
*cluster tactics, an interesting idea but not fully exploited.
*good warriors in hand to hand combat.
Feel free to correct me if I am wrong.
