With regards to this match's relevancy in this thread: http://zero-k.info/Forum/Thread/24943

This match goes to show that Moderators aren't to be trifled with, especially due to how they can administer 500 points of damage in a shot that instantly hits the target. More expensive raiders, like Blitzes and Kodachis, stand little chance at defeating Moderators (because of the 1500 slow damage that's added on top of the 500 damage), and even though scouts, like Fleas, and cheap raiders, like Glaives, stand a chance at countering Moderators, good luck doing so when Placeholders or potent riot units, like, say, Venoms, Warriors, Outlaws, or Phoenixes are thrown into the mix (which wasn't the case in this match, though the Pyros were decent enough).

Also, while Moderators are difficult for some skirmishers, such as Rockos, to take down, I'd be willing to bet that they'd have trouble against Fencers and Scalpels, due to not only their homing missiles, but also due to their longer ranges, which makes slowing them down all but pointless for Moderators alone.
