shuttles

Maybe you haven't logged in for awhile, but the Leopard was the balancing pass on those.

Shuttles require slots for a civilian only modules.

Supporting this.

they ask for feedback when they post the sticky genius.

facepalm

Yes those stickies and dev blogs that come up when they are ready to announce whats next. So what does their absence suggest? Yes. That they are not ready to announce just yet. [clap]

Feel free to speculate amongst urselves, i know its fun. But dont expect CCP to chime in. They may not have yet decided whats going to make the Crius deadline. There is already a logi thread up if ppl want to make suggestions there. There are several T3 threads up. Theres a Recon thread up. There are Capital threads up. So what is this thread if not redundant or a needy ADHD 'are we there yet' thread?

And when they are ready to reveal, it probably wont be in this thread.

So back to my original point. I dnt know why ppl make these threads asking CCP to reveal things ahead of time.

If CCP want feedback on what they do, we need time to give that feedback and feedback to possible changes they make based on our feedback. If nothing is revealed until patchnotes there is no time to give feedback, and its only 1month until the patch goes live. All we know so far is that industry was pushed back to the next release (the upcomming one) but we have no idea what else they are looking at or even if industry is actualy comming this time.

Devs should already know what ships they hope to balance inthe next patch, even if the changes are not set in stone.

Waiting to long means that we either dont have any say in changes, or get to choose from 2 diffrent outcomes with the 2nd revealed if we dissagree to strongly with the first. If it takes this long to come up with balancing changes, the last 2-3 weeks should be dedicated to make last changes based on input (input that also should take more than a day to gather, like 1-2 weeks)

This simple timetable indicate that 3-5weeks before patch, we should see some indication about WHAT they plan to balance and possibly what direction they want to take those ships/modules

Recon cruisers are next if they stick to the plan

What i understand even less than the OP is Nevyn and Joraa's need to give feedback on a release where even CCP may not know what its going to include.

This thread is about whats changing next, not what those changes will be and feedback for such. Re-read OP.

Stickies and dev blogs get released as and when they are ready to be released. Surely when CCP know whats going where and is ready for ur feedback there will be a sticky and/or a dev blog asking ur for feedback. For all we know they could be drafting a dev blog right now. Until such a time, they may not know whats going where and/or arent ready for ur feedback, but feel free to contribute the numerous existing threads concerning the rebalance of ships as yet un-rebalanced.

I believe u are making excuses for ur impatience. Ur fears are unfounded and probably not why u think u need to know what u actually don't yet need to know. There is nothing that suggests CCP will drop big ship changes on u without any chance for u to give feedback. CCP have shown on multiple occasions that if updates to their changes are needed and/or they believe they need more time they are willing to update and/or push back the release of features.

Rumor mongering over unfinished work is bad. Hence the hesitation to release unfinished work with phrases like 'at this time'.

TL:DR

still dnt get it.
