I've noticed that with the FSE fleet.  For some reason they lose their
Bridges and Warp Cores very easily.  Both my own FSE vessels that are
part
of my Mercenary fleet ans my friend's FSE fleet have Warp Core breaches
and
Bridge Brown-outs regularly while our NSL opponent rarely has anything
of
the sort!

Is this a fault in the design of FSE vessels?
