There are 4 capital ships and 28 pilot ships. This update is being pushed later today right? And you're not going to give us ANY info on what abilities are being changed ahead of time? Madness. You want us to learn 32 entirely reworked ships including the introduction of an entirely new mechanic when you release them?
You know what I loved? I loved when LSTB was first introduced. You wrote out a bunch of stuff, you did a dev interview/walkthrough with the GC's and the GC's had video (not all the info, a lot of their first videos were still making guesses about how things worked) on the content. TW's release was similar. STR was similar though you left phase 4 entirely a mystery (which I enjoyed). But this... 32 ships, all new abilities, a whole new mechanic and you have absolutely nothing for us.
It's too late for panic farming. You're making huge changes to a game mode many didn't enjoy to begin with ( I personally love ships hence my frustration). And you have nothing for us? That's super disappointing. Even more frustrating is you're not talking about when or how we'll learn about the changes. coolcoolcool

But....but...communication is better. At least, that's what she said.

In all seriousness, it seems odd - but all of the development team seems to think like, well, developers, not like players. It honestly boggles the mind how, in two and half years, it seems like no one seems to think "How will the players take this?"
