Re: Those annoying aliens...

What about Counter ECM?  Why not have aliens using the "Kra'Vak 
Technology" deploy fewer ships.  It's a matter of Quality vs. Quantity. 

The aliens deploy fewer ships because they don't need to deploy more.  
Further, because it's alien tech supported by an "unknown" economic 
system, quality costs less.
