munchkins gual

Please tell me that Bug and Space Ranger from Clown Wars have had rewrites. They are by far the weakest race and class of any set in the history of Munchkin. Bug's ability is basically to get a better race card that is easier to do with the Go Up A Level discard rule (and only costs you one card instead of two). As for Space Ranger, being able to force another player to help can be a game winner, but compared to other forced help abilities, this one is too costly for early use and too absolute for end game battles. I like the idea of Bugs taking abilities from other races, but requiring a half breed to be able to keep using it's own abilities while benefiting from others is just too much work for a race that has no other abilities. I also feel that Space Rangers would be a more diverse class from the others if they could conscript other players followers instead of the players themselves. I realize that both of these changes would require almost complete rewrites for both of these cards, but I honestly feel nothing would be lost from introducing cards that players would have at least some sense of decision whether they wanted to choose them over another race or class. Yes I signed up for this forum just to make this request.
