Can you please walk us through your reasoning to put profundity in the trash?

Great Question.

The only answer I can think of is they REALLY wanted all those that were about to Open Leviathan tomorrow to not bother spending crystals to upgrade it?   
I really can't figure out what they were thinking making it as powerful as they did.

I am really glad that they added a starfighter in the game to a faction that was sitting at 5 ships.
It might have been better to go with one of the factions sitting at 9 for 2 Cap Ships instead, but, either way adding starfighters is good.

The execution on the other hand is lacking.  
Not testing against the current meta is well, actually that is totally CG & expected at this point.   (How sad is that?)

Hopefully given Meatheads question about future ships we will see some more come out over the next year. 
I know I'd love to see a good 10-20 starfighters get released so we can get back to 6-7 per cap ship instead of 4-5.
