Fantastic update, easily the best update of the year, can not wait to get into ships!

Honest question (not trolling here) - what specifically is so amazing? I wanted to like this update - and to this point, all it looks like to me is that the UI has had a few minor tweaks. For a non-officer who is in a guild who doesn't use the in-game chat anyway, there are basically no important functional changes. And the few aesthetic changes are, at best, a wash (and that presumes you actually like certain things grouped together the way the devs have decided they will be moving forward).

The ability to sim GW was much more time-saving then auto-posting a zero in a raid - which is the closest thing to "like" for me in this update.

Get ready for a long sentence with lots of, commas. ;)

As an officer who is in a guild that uses Discord but doesn't demand it from all members, and as the designated attack dog of the officer group, for me, the ability to PM someone to tell them to stop putting D in the wrong TW territory, and the ability to PM someone to tell them to sit out the next raid for hitting the current one early, is one of the best QoL things I've seen in this game, ever, and the raid controls, despite needing some more improvements, such as longer than 24 hour lockout, or ability to launch on specific day of week, is awesome too.

TVF... I agree 1,000,000 percent of what you just said there it's true...totally

But you have to at least acknowledge a little of the guys point.... 90 percent of people in all guilds are NOT officers and could care less so from his point of view I can at least acknowledge what he's saying.... even though the vast amount of possiblities the ships content could provide should null their arguments about nothing being really updated....

I mean if you completely ignored ships, your fleet sucks and your not an officer this update probably has nothing for you..... Then again they made the choice to suck at ships.... so they are really just whining about their bad decision.... I get that too when people mess up royally they need to vent.

Lol - I finished 2 in ships yesterday (and only because I was letting a chat-mate take 1). I actually enjoy ships as they are. But yes, for non-officers, who like ships (or suck at them) this is a rather minor update.
