Greetings fellow cat enjoyers I, thrall-jon bring to you the latest in hot balance action.
10.0 Tech Parity balance pass is aimed at filling holes in widely available performance line ups for PVP entities, narrowing the gap significantly for raw combat performance in specific areas ( Interceptors, short range fighters, bombers, Corvettes and eventually Capitals.
Restricted tech will still maintain its overall advantage but the combat playing field should be a lot more level as we move into a global combat environment, Skill expression, tactics and player interaction should be the primary metric for how well people do in combat not luck of the draw on tech.
As with every balance update this will be an ongoing process as we get feedback, data and more things blowing up or expanded combat features.
As with all updates feel free to send thrall your favorite cat pictures and myself all your complaints.
Rules have been changed for these entities and the ships will have their stats updated over the next 24 hours.
Ignore this, this was totally here originally and i totally didnt forget.
There will also be a new heavy Capital and high damage Bomber at some point in the near future to round this out.
