I have been playing off and on since beta and this last break has been about a year and a half. I have done a poor job of keeping up with the expansions during this time.

I understand SOE has faction exploration ships now. What other major changes have taken place? I am mainly a missle player. Are HAM still superior to HM? Are lights still useless? Are rails still useless? Whats up with these tech 3 destroyers? Have they nerfed the T3 cruisers?

What is the current meta in the game? Any help would be appreciated...

Current meta is speed and kiting.

And to the OP: The SOE exploration ships are really wonderful to fly and very versatile, Light Missiles are quite good especialy in the Rapid Light Missile launchers, the new T III destroyers are fun to fly and 'some' are rather OP, and no, the T III cruisers have not been nerfed although imho they should get a rebalance pass. For the rest, the Patch notes and Dev-blogs are your friend.
Happy reading and welcome back! Big smile

Here I used to have a sig of our old Camper in space. Now it is disregarded as being the wrong format. Looking out the window I see one thing: Nothing wrong with the format of our Camper! Silly CCP......

I'm not sure that is a change of the last year and a half P

that said brawling vs a blob is usually just a bad idea. alliances and coalitions are freaking massive these days. and many have the attitude of "if it was a fair fight someone screwed up" I cant blame some of the kiting enthusiasts.

and then there are those that kite, use links, and blob Sad
