Especially with the shields [on the Vanguard]?
TL;DRThe Vanguard's shield and hull issues are being looked at; its shields should improve, hopefully in the near future, once the new component system is fully set up and rolled out.
The shields and the hull issue is definitely something we're looking into. It's a little squishy at the moment. Even with that, the Vanguard is really one of our first ships that was built from the ground up with the new component refit system that's coming out soon in mind. The unfortunate side effect of that is not everything it needed for the shields to work as intended is fully set up. So once that's all set up, it should pick right back up and get closer to where it should be. It has its six shield generators installed, it's just they're not all playing nice together. But that should definitely be getting cleaned up, hopefully in the near future as more of this component stuff rolls out.
So basically it exists in a different way than the other ships.
A little bit, yeah. So once we convert everything over, once we get the Hornet and everything else to the new system, it'll even out some more. Once all that rolls out, there's that whole first month or so of this new component system, I'm expecting a lot of balance threads to pop up from it. There's the typical balance threads, and then every ship will have two or three different balance threads about it when all this stuff happens. So it's a giant set of sweeping changes. Well, if people want to get heard, we've got our Let's Talk About Spaceships section on the forums. We've got a whole bunch of threads set up to get specific feedback on specific ships.
Issue Council.
Issue Council as well. But let us know on the boards. So give me a shout.
