 '''Hunter''': In very small teams on very large maps (think Inculta Wet) Hunter stocks go up a lot. In the typical sea game its mobility is not so much of a strength.

+'''Scorcher''': The best raider for sheer DPS if it can stay at close range... which is not always practical.

 '''Raptor''': I genuinely think this is OK, if your job is to fight Swifts and gunships with help rather than chasing down bombers. I would always have some Swifts though.
-'''Magpie''': Good against a range of likely early game targets, considerably weaker later. Probably best on high-wind maps to offset the large rearm cost.
+'''Raven''': Not the game-defining unit it once was, but there is nothing wrong with the Raven of today. Does the job it is designed to do.

 '''Claymore''': Occasionally solves problems for Hover on land. Remember that they can shoot over terraform for no particularly good reason.

 '''Recon''': Does not die to Placeholder. Dies a lot to Lance though. S tier if it enables expansion for you (like on Quicksilver). To avoid throwing your computer out a window when you get Lobstered, this chassis is mandatory on lava maps.

 '''Engineer''': Dies to Placeholder and Lance. The blueprint-stealing tool has some useful applications though; for example, if you are playing air grab a land constructor.
