Discovery 4.86 Storyline: Tau Conquest

[guitarguy]

Which reminds me, what's the status of the Liberty/Bretonia alliance-y-thing? Will I be able to take my LN cruiser to Bretonia to aid the Bretonian refugees in fleeing from Gallia? Also, if I can do so, will GRN gunboat captains complain if my cruiser beats them up while letting the Bretonians escape?

As part of the new update, all ships will be able to go anywhere to fight anyone without restrictions.

All sarcasm aside, I don't understand why everyone is complaining about Bretonia. The Kusari-based players should be the ones with the most complaining to do, as their activity will likely plummet with the war finished.
Also, where are the Gaians supposed to go?

As for the storyline itself, it seems it was made to encourage Gallic activity by giving the Gallics half of Sirius. It seems to me that they would have trouble steamrolling Bretonia, Kusari, the Council, and the Outcasts at the same time, and taking control of an entire sector of space (Tau) in one year. I would have preferred the development to go slowly, but we would have arrived here anyway.

Finally, there's the issue of balance. Are weapons going to be rebalanced so that Gallics and non-Gallics have an equal footing? And more importantly, how long does it take to kill a Gallic battleship with three Challengers?

On the bright side, this isn't Same Old Wars Part XIX and Igiss stuck his neck out to try something different. Perhaps it will work.
