Discovery 5.1 Dev Diary #3 - More System Changes & Other Things

[LuckyOne]

So what happened to that idea of Haste with the destroyable engines for transports that cut their cruise in half ? Seems like that would be preferable to making them always slow. Is it a matter of just too much effort needed?

As for the cruiser rework, it always seemed to me that sort of shield enable / disable gameplay would be better fitted to battleships, because they've always been the weakest class, mechanics wise. And it would be cool to have them in FIRE EVERYTHING or TANK EVERYTHING mode. But we'll see how it will work overall.
