So every year we have some sort of nerf or boost that changes the meta and gives us something different to look at for tourney set-ups.....

Be it,

Vindis and Mini Rush
Bombers
Sentry Drones
Mobile Drones + Marauder

Every year was slightly different and fun to watch. However that change has not occurred this year. I'm afraid we are going to see exactly the same teams with the same set-ups. We need to have some major rule changes if there are no game changes to alter the tourney. Something like limiting ships to 2 per class, or banning 3 ships per team, or having a poll for every legal ship for how many points they would be worth.

Example -
Cruisers -

Celestis, BB, Vexor - 7 pts.

Thorax, Rupture, Maller, Caracal, Arbitrator. Stabber - 6 pts.

Moa, Omen - 5 pts

Bellicose - 4 pts



Second concern...... Tactical Destroyers. Need to be pretty heavy in points tbh. These are strong ships for their classes and if they are the same point value as their t2 counterparts then they could be a bit op.



Just some concerns.

Once you start going down the slippery slope of giving lots of ships their own point values you massively increase the workload of refereeing and theorycrafting for AT. Dont get me wrong , I would love for every ship to be relevant in AT , but all this is going to do is impact teams that are not super try hard and increase the gulf between the top and low tier teams. Some ship classes could have their own point values ( navy cruisers and frigates for example should be less than pirate faction )

As far as tactical destroyers go , they aren't going to be super OP in the tourney , but I imagine they will be well used. 5 or 6 points would be a good price point for them as it puts them at the same power level as a tech 1 cruiser.
