RANT: So you want balance... NERF IT.

Dev is not being leaked. Or it should not be. What is going on in dev, Igiss has asked, and by joining dev all the dev peeps have agreed to, an agreement to keep dev secret. A non disclosure agreement.

So, until an open beta, this is an entirely pointless discussion. About things the people here cannot have any real grasp of. Or, if they do, they should not be saying anything.

Ah totally understandable, and I fully concur with the actions taken by the Dev staff.

As you said, this is a totally a pointless discussion now.

BALANCE IS OVERRATED

Actually this is correct to a point, look at 4.84. Out of the top of my head I can find several completely crazy inbalances. Yet how do they affect the actual game? They do a bit yes, but not extremely much.
(unless you combine all of the advantages vs all the disadvantages (read: Catamaran with inferno and 4 missiles vs Titan/Templar, or for example 6 Missile GB against 2 Eagles)

Now if the differences/imbalances get only 1/4 as big it's way past the threshold where skill and luck matters much more.

The dev team aren't bad, they simply do what people tell them. Asking for the communities opinions is like digging your own grave, not doing so, result in flames.

Well yes... If I look left I see 10 people saying (ship X is uber and ship Y sucks), then I look right and see 10 other saying the opposite.
