The Defender gained 1 shield, boost, evade, a 2 k-turn, 1 soft greens (blue), AND is the only ship in the game able to token stack Evade/focus. Defenders need to probably be a little MORE expensive than what they are now, or else that's all you are going to see. They already laugh at 2 dice attacks in 1.0, and with an extra shield and no change in token stacking, they are still going to be gate keepers to keep out most 2 dice ships now. There's a lot of ships that just can't straight up beat them on even grounds. The Scum falcon, for one, is never going to be able to beat a defender, since it will never be able to utilize it's title, and a 2 dice attack will bounce off of the defender most of the time, and even if it doesn't, it'll only do 1 damage at most from the evade token, meaning it'll take at least 7 turns to kill, meanwhile the falcon itself is going to be eating 3 dice attacks back, with it's measly 1 defense dice.
