@jhbuchholz - thank you for that transcript.
Again, the new bonuses are unique, but they are still buffs and effects, which is the same as what already happens. Giving each ship their own unique effect sounds great, I'm not disputing that.
I'm simply saying that Reinforcements gaining bonuses/buffs on entry is not a new thing, it has happened to every single reinforcement ever since Ships were introduced.
So for them to claim that it did not exist before is false.
To claim that it's a new creation is also false, it's simply an expansion of an existing piece of functionality.
So to then use this to replace the "coming soon" hardware seems a bit lazy/cheap.

Sounds like maybe you also missed the part where they said it has its own ability slot? Sounds to me more like a ship version of Contracts than anything that already exists in ships.

And maybe you also missed where they said that their original idea for Hardware was a flavor of this?

Whatever it is doesn't really matter I guess. You had some expectation and apparently this fell short. Guess I just don't understand why it upset you so much (which your repetitive posts clearly show to be the case).

I hope you're pleasantly surprised when it goes live.

Happy gaming.
