Title says it all, really.When you nerf a very hard to farm ship as it's 'OP' then I guess despite the fact I spent money on it I have to respect that...But THEN you release Hounds Tooth. You can't tell me that Reaper was anywhere near as good as HT, so please, for those of us who put time and effort (money, too, for some) into this ships, PLEASE make it more useful again.Thanks.

Tbf they did just "fix" HT too. But I agree reaper should be better.

It was Bossk not HT that they fixed.

I'd agree it wasn't nerfed a ton. I'd say it was nerfed to the point where it's still a good ship but no longer mandatory to run it, which makes it a good nerf in my eyes. And I already had it pretty much maxed under 1.0, so I had investment in it like everyone else.Also IIRC Tarkin got a TM buff to counteract at least some of the TM nerf to Reaper.

What "fix" are you referring to?

Was reaper really nerfed all that bad... technically all ships were nerfed until you put the omegas back into them....

Tarkin's "buff" was a huge buff - since it's independent of Reaper. It takes a fast capital ship and makes it even faster. Reaper does still have utility, but like the dodge nerf to Tie Fighter they wanted to get away from mandatory ships. Whether they succeeded, well....

yeah it's a pretty big fail on their part though...everyone still running the mandatory ships...just added 2 new mandatory ships...so still got 5 old mandatory left to get rid of heh :)

Not sure how I feel about the reaper....they nerfed it because it would be mega OP in 2.0 but I'm not sure if they nerfed it so much it became worthless or just because 3v3 reaper just was not optimal

Maybe both... Hounds tooth has made it useful again..but like everything else there are better options.....though I've been getting out speeded in the capital race lately...I guess I should actually be trying to work it in somehow before the ultimates.

EDIT actually since every ship was nerfed Omegas were so rare there were a lot of other ships that too priority anyway....I wonder if people are starting to catch up now it will get more usage.
