Simple question - i understand Tier1 was priority and youve announced all the Tier 1 rebalance changes till Battleships.

Youve also announced Navy Frigates, Cruisers AND added Navy Battlecruisers.

It truly is a lot of tweaking and changing.

Since youve acknowledged that T2 rebalance will be after Tier1's, my question is simple, will you get to Command Ships in time for the Summer Xpack or not?

HACs and Command Ships are in dire need of an overhaul, especially in the context of all the changes tiericide has brought with it.

You had a fantastic blog in November indicating the direction of new CS's, i really hope the rebalanced T2 BCs hit along with the major skill changes.

Also, where in your priority are the Pirate Frigates, Cruisers and Battleships?

Last section is on Command Ships (and T3s)

Skill changes go into the expansion, ship changes go into a later patch.

I would imagine that if command ships were going to be in the summer expansion that they would have posted feedback threads and dev blogs like they did with battleships

I really doubt they will balance command ships yet, they are barely finishing with T1 ships and starting with Navy ships, after that, only the assault frigates have been balanced Sort of in the T2 area and they now need a little buff after the tiericide made T1 frigates awesome.

Then comes light interdictors, HACs, HICs, Recons, SBs (they will need some fixing once torps get fixed). Coverops, and then command ships.


taking all this into account, Marauders and blackops will be fixed sometime around November of next year...

but taking onto account kil2 is now helping with the fixes, maybe we can get some extra fixes before next year.

They are not necessarily dong then in order from small to large like they did with T1. They have also stated they are going to balance the most broken T2 ships first and command ships and blackops were on that list.

It's still early and they've unveiled almost nothing about the expansion, so i don't think you can count out Command Ships just yet.

I have seen nothing on Command Ship balancing for Odyssey. My guess is it will be a winter expansion thing or an Odyssey 1.1 thing.

Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?

When we're finished with tech 1 hulls we are going to start looking into more advanced roles, starting with Command ships.

Same. My Nighthawk could use some love but haven't heard a thing yet. Probably not in the first pass... they're doing that BC re-balance and introducing faction navy BC, so I would bet they are going to see how things shake out with those before they do the T2 hulls.
