You peeps have been kinda quiet for a while, I’m guessing the current ships in “research” on the 3 sides are premiums?
I wonder how the new engineer on the Empire tree will turn out, premium or a grind build of electrum? 
Next update should be the rank 17 empire ECM which judging by the bugged parts in the workshop it will be a standard ship. It might come coupled with the r17 Federation Guard as well since it isn’t a premium needing a whole event and also since the other r16 + r17 standards haven’t deployed solo either. After that is up in the air. No idea what is comin after r17 finishes deploying except maybe another Ellydium ship since they’re stuck at rank 15 currently.
Wait no, I remember now - they were going to introduce an “improved” trading UI soon so perhaps that will be coming within the next month or so.

Nothing will happen during the vacation! Summer is here! We can expect a new update in 2-3 months.
Despite the fact that some of the biggest events were held during the summer? Dyrnwyn will be released the next patch for sure, after that we are left with the Fed Guard, while the other 3 ships with placeholder icons are still a mystery.

We won’t see those before the end of the year. We may only see some of them.

Judging by the bugged components, them being standard “special project” ships is very likely.
Though I don’t understand why they’d make Executor premium while leaving the rest as standard…
And so far, still no info on the Fed Guard.
Actually there hasn’t been much info at all.
Other than the spaceball update, all the “new” contents in the past month are panoramas, wallpapers and models.

All of which we really could use less of.
Unless of course they decide to let us actually see the base models so we can play with them. That’d be fun.
This suddenly occured to me:
What if, the Executor people got from the event is the premium version, and then when the next ship comes out, a new event replace the Executor event.
Then a standard special project ship with slightly lower stats replace the Executor for those who haven’t got the premium one, but those who already have the premium version gets to keep it.
It’ll be like Palom and Palom MkII again.
It wouldn’t be completely impossible. Just a thought.

It actually seems like the Executor wasn’t originally planned to be a premium. It has premium status, but most of the premium functions don’t work. As in it costs repairs and doesn’t have bonuses etc. It can simply use other unique modules like premiums can.

Maybe that was the idea. To make the R16/17 special projects capable of using the premium modules. Hopefully R15s get to join the rank.
Devs finally willing to give special projects the love they deserve? Would be awesome if true.

It does have bonuses. Checked.
september.
'tis today
Yep, here is your patch, got Dyrnwyn, Singu cannon 5, rework for Spaceball, PvE and free premium ships.
Cool we can see the future and also can anyone confirm if the diminishing returns fix ADDS diminishing returns to more ECM modules or removes them?
aaaaaaaaand still no balance changes.
Bored of the game and its updates, its never anything that excites you nowdays… you know its going to be a ship, some small changes and bugfixes

Yeah they could always sneak in some cool eastereggs or secrets or hidden missions for great treasures etc.
Id love to be able to rarely loot “treasure maps” off of pirates in OS that lead to a sector and have a series of things you do to reveal a super secret huge treasure.
