On this week's ATV, Darian Vorlick spilled that you are reworking the tech design for the 890 Jump. That led to many, many threads. [What is actually happening?]
TL;DRThe 890 Jump work is just updating its component specs to fit the coming stats and component overhaul, and it isn't fast-tracked or coming within a couple of weeks.
Yeah, I saw some of those. Just so people don't overestimate what's actually happening: when the 890 was first unveiled at CitizenCon 2014, it was all done with the original component spec that had been working for a while. And since then, we've changed that. So it's really just updating those spec lines to make sure it's all going to work nice with the new system. It's not super fast-tracked or going to be coming out in the next couple weeks, guys, so it's not that high a priority. Just making sure it's all going to work when its time is up.
Because we do have a revision to the entire stats system coming. So that's rolled into that. It's one of the ships that we have to revise the stats for.
Yes. It's the big component overhaul that we first started talking about, I want to say it was like last May. The whole system is that pervasive. It just takes a long time to make sure it's going to be exactly what we need for the long-term game.
