The SV are too powerful vs the KV. You're not being too whiny, the
play-testing
was inadequate.

I speak as one of the play-testers.

All I can say is that there was a shipload of playtesting, but this
didn't come
out.

OK, so what is the solution? Things currently being tried are:

a) Spicules come from the Defensive energy allocation pile. (Good as far
as
it goes, but not enough)
b) Cost of Stinger fire increased by 1 pt per die ( so at range 36" it
costs
4+1 = 5, at 12" it is 1+1 = 2) *OR*
c) Range brackets for Stingers decreased to 8" or even 6" instread of
12". So
it costs 1 pt at 6, 2 at 12, 4 at 18 etc.
