Last ship balancing / Iteration happened on the Kronos release last June, it balanced the Pirate Faction Ships, added Mordu's Legion ships and the Prospect and also rebalanced the T2 Industrial Ships.

Nothing on Crius.

Just some tweaks on the Ishtar, and even smaller on the Muninn and Eagle...


Fozzie you're lazy...


Other than a serious need to address the Ishtar, the real elephant in the room concerning ships is Capital Ships. Rebalancing has been going on for years across the board and frankly until they start introducing new ships and ship roles (which will create inherent problems that will need to be balanced) things are pretty good. The situation with capitals could be fairly extreme and involve some code writing, and will most definitely be related to how the next generation of Sov mechanics rolls out, so it makes sense that the needed capital balance will come later rather than sooner.

To me it looks like things are on schedule and proceeding nicely. With all the whining about caps and sov the WH and high sec changes in Hyperion may seem a bit unwelcome, but frankly, it looks to me to be a program of paying attention to all aspects of the game as befits an organized scheme of progress. Given that they player base's concern over sov and caps will involve some seriously major stuff, probably already being worked on behind the scenes, the unexpected Hyperion changes seem fairly well-timed.

Don't call Fozzie lazy, man. The guy takes way too much crap.

For the love of dog please rebalance Recons. They are so bad.
