Yay, new stations! The 2 big ones are excellent! They really give you the capability to put the bigger baystations up front, and use the bigger gunstations to provide a more powerful static defense.
The First Contact is cute, but way overpriced/under-statted. For 1600 you get a 3 big gun, 2 PD with 1400 hull, 500 or 700 shield. For 1800 you get 8 PD, which is approximately the same overall firepower, but 600/600 hull/shield? And with much fewer marines.
I don't mind keeping the price the same, but crank up the hull to like 2000/1000 making it easy to snipe but extremely hard to kill. That seems fitting with the original game. :-)
