Latts is DEFINITELY way better than the 2 pt cost suggests.
Though Autothrusters is in the same boat. Lets make Autothrusters "Once per round" as well and finally end the reign of aces too easily dominating generics and turn it back to a 50 / 50 situation.
Well, we gotta limit regen too. 5 shields max per game or something would at least make games with regen on either side end in determinant amount of time.
