A rebalance of all the units in CVS is currently underway. You can see information on the rebalance and track its status through this page.

Status

The bulk of what we set out to do is done, and should be properly in cvs soon. What's left is to add the new upgrade types and to do some pretty serious playtesting (while I've playtested till my brain failed, the lack of proper weapons on the ships may have distorted my interpretation ... furthermore, only me and petey have actually playtested to any big extent). Note: We are only talking about pilotable ships, see the FAQ for details.

FAQ

Q: !

A: Yes, i did say it'd be done ages ago.


Q: !?

A: Yes, I have missed my own deadlines on it twice.


Q: ??

A: It'll get here when it gets here. Current completion plan is March. With help, there should be no problem making it.


Q: So what have you been doing all this time?

A: Working, studying, stressing, dying, sleeping and eating ... hasn't left much room for VS this past 4 months. Most of you understand, those of you who don't, you will eventually.


Q: So what can I do to help?

A: Look at the Task List, announce you're looking at it, and get working :)


Q: Hey, what about capships?

A: I was never intending to balance capships this round ... if someone is serious about it, then sure, go ahead, but it'll be done for the release after at any rate.
