Can you release the new ship matrix even if 3.0 isn't out yet?asked by Nightwing

Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but this is being worked on, and they're currently doing a pretty large revamp to our website just to make it more intuitive and upgrade it. And the ship matrix, I think, might be coming with that, right?

That's the intention. In fact, John Crewe, I think, this week is taking another pass at how it all works. It's very close.

The new matrix is far more complex than the old matrix. That's why the old matrix that's currently available on the website has gotten so far into disarray. With the implementation of Item 2.0 and the ship component system, there was just no equivalence between the old system and the new. So he is helping us out with Turbulent to make sure that the new system covers all the various ship components that are necessary to fully describe to you the capabilities of a ship. We had Kirk Tome first. Kirk Tome did a great job going through all 103 of our ship variants and collecting all that data. And then even after that happened, there were still discrepancies, because it's 103 ships all with 30 to 40 different components and stats and stuff. So John Crewe has made another pass. We will go and do a sanity check with that. If we need a third pass after that, we'll keep going. But yeah, it's a lot of work and we know how important it is to a lot of people. So we're taking our time with it to make sure it's as good as it can be when it rolls out. It will still need work after it rolls out. It's not going to be perfect when it comes out. It will be the first iteration of this new system. But top men are on it.

We have seen your threads on Spectrum requesting it. We have forwarded that feedback and we have followed up with that feedback, because we want it just as much.

But as we say, we are aiming for it when the website gets updated.
