Does this include the T2 logistic drones as well?

I very much like the banning of scripted damps and tracking disruptors...it'll hopefully encourage more strategy than just locking someone down the entire match.

No Bastion Marauders and no scripts, this should make things interesting.

T1 Drones only? No T2, Faction, or Augmented.. That's just silly.

The line "The Ancillary Shield Boost module will be restricted to a maximum of one per ship" is still in the same spot as it was last year.

Sensor damps, Bastion and Drone meta too stronk!

Good changes - this should mix things up a bit t his year.

I don't judge people by their race, religion, color, size, age, gender, or ethnicity. I judge them by their grammar, spelling, syntax, punctuation, clarity of expression, and logical consistency.

It's just odd that you can't script damps, or tracking disruption, but you can still use ECM, which is easily as strong at either of those scripted.

ecm works the same at brawl distance as in range. Range Damps and Range Tracking Disruption is what put all setups into damp war control kitey thingy last two tourneys

So the best 16 teams duke it out against each other the first weekend, which means that potentially 8 of the best teams from last year will be knocked out in the first weekend...

... and the first weekend won't be broadcast?

Please rethink broadcasting first weekend!

Love all the changes, especially the change to drones. Surprised by the limit of two per hull (instead of three), gotta rework everything! :) Going to make for some really interesting setups!

In a tournament, ECM is much less powerful than scripted damps and (when facing turret ships) scripted TDs.

Actually the opposite. High seeds are matched against low seeds so that they don't meet Each other until later.

Oh wow, I totally misread that! Cool!

Edit: Well, maybe not so cool, cause "lesser" teams will be against powerhouses early! Still, it's good!

Still want first weekend broadcast :) Half the fun is watching the matches before and after your own match!

Edit again: When will prizes be announced?

I see you work your hardest to make sure the Nestor isnt used ingame Roll

One of God's own prototypes. Some kind of high powered mutant never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die.

For our understanding, can you post how the brackets will be setup?

My guess is that no two top 16 teams can meet each other until their 3 Match, so that each route to the new top 16 involves defeating 1, and only 1, of the previous top 16.

What is the significance of the seat numbers 31-34, which we silently bid on? Are they in brackets with weaker teams?

We'll see if we can get something posted when we get back into work tomorrow, since it looks like the seeding is causing a bit more confusion than we expected.

As for 31-34, they'll actually face each other (31 vs 34 and 32 vs 33) in the 1st round since it's the middle of the pack.
