My brain’s fried. So many changes. Squads … for myself and SM generally - no comment.
I hate the fact that 4 seems to be the magic number whenever people on Corp chann wants to squad tho.
Actually 6 man squads would be nice. hell make it 10 man squads. Why? Some people want that “party feature!”
Nobody (including me) will want to play T4/5 seriously because we can’t grind for purples like other players were able to. (If I would have known what was coming, I would have completely ignored contracts for PvE.)

Purples are a rather minor step up from blues - this is not a big problem. The speed at which you gain access to mk3 gear though, could be raised to question. I feel it’s possibly a little too slow right now.

Agreeing on this. Loyalty gain needs a slight increase. Purple farming prolongs gameplay enough to compensate.
I think devs need some event for T4/T5 to encourage people to try it again. I belive peope mostly doesn’t play T4 because it is hard to get into match but there is more then enough people ready to play it.

Maybe the next championships can be held in T4 ships.

This is a great idea and probably the most obvious fix. Sadly, I think you might be quite a bit smarter than the devs, so I doubt they’ll try anything like this.

Guess the event of the weekend ! 
I don’t get this high demand for purples… if you look at the stats compared to mk3, the difference is +1~3% at most. It won’t make any significant difference. A full blue setup is everything you’ll ever need on a ship to be competitive and enjoy the game.
Getting matched against maxed t5 ships with early t4 is aint fun, I have to agree with that tough.
Well, especially when you Verse a T5 squad with a full suite of purples…
Anyone ever done the math on long long a brand new player should get to R15 loyalty in all factions for full blue everywhere? That’s why purples and greens matter.
1 year for me assuming I keep up current activity level.

Wardens. Lvl9 to 12, currently halfway through eleven 11.
Started this a few days after the weapons patch.
I’m already burnt out / bored with rank 9 on four factions and rank 7 and 6 on two others. I doubt I’ll ever be buying any T4 mk III items. T4 is impractical; therefore, I believe I won’t get involved in it. I usually log in after 8 PM here, get the daily bonus, and go for that 1 good round in Pve. After that, I sometimes let the pvp search (with T3 ships on the platforms) run for a few minutes. Sometimes I just log out.
I have maintained a decent rating for a couple of months. It isn’t because I can’t play it. The main, actual game is used for the grind, and that got old.
Yeah, I pretty much quit playing this. It got so boring so fast, and the devs are absolutely braindead. I don’t expect this game to survive for more than a year at this rate. Good riddance.
Can a dev respond as to why someone with all rank 11 ships in their hangar should be forced into a 1v1 pvp match with rank 15s? It happened in four matches in a row for me tonight.

I see you’ve met our lovely matchmaking system…
Also, I’ve noticed something peculiar in T4s… If you solo them, you have an extremely high chance of getting 12v12s with utter idiots in your team. If you squad up, you get 3v3s… 4v4s… 2v2s, like I caught yesterday…
That’s only if your European or Russian. If you’re American you have to play early to see T4 in the matchmaking queue enough to avoid 1v1 matches. I recently had a 1v1 of my T3 ships vs a T4 ship. When I get the ships I want for T4 ready, I might switch to T4 PvE for a while. Otherwise it’d be night after night of 1v1 matches and trying to learn the bots’ strategies.
How to deal with long MM times.
Its an average wait of 4 minutes. Thus, do a couple of push ups and crunches and BAM!, you will be RIPPED and PLAYING at the same time.
I managed to do 32 pushups in one go now…
I try to play T4 pvp almost every day, just hoping the situation has changed because I am one of
[…]a lot of people with full access to T4 who will gladly play it if the conditions were more favourable.
