RIP
Styx
Well, after a couple of days I’ve just abouts seen what I need to see. So I guess here is my (probably invalid) opinion on the update:
Monocrystals in Trophy search again!
I’m still not sure why they were removed from trophy search in the first place, but right now the drop rate is much higher than the last time they were present as a farmable resource (or I’m much luckier) as I’ve gotten 1 in every 2-3 wins. I just hope this isn’t temporary.
THE RETURN OF R14 DESTROYERS…
Although I’m more than glad for being SO CLOSE to being able to make my Tyrant, I feel like the R14 destroyers return honestly feels like it was improvised. All 3 destroyers are back and able to be produced but only Sirius’ activators can be actively obtained via GS and daily missions. I still think that different activators should be available as the daily mission from the different stations (Jericho from Mendes, Fed from New Eden etc.) since then the daily missions wouldn’t be aimed at a select group of players who are hunting the available destroyer.
Also, why can’t activators be traded yet 
Ship parts for Xenochips
This is actually a fantastic idea and gives a much more reliable income of ship parts (premium parts, not craftables) than the Star Marathon missions. Once again; I hope this is brought back as this is actually a good idea for once.
Removal of Leave Battle button
Alt + f4 still works just as good
Ellydium Nerfs
Although these are LONG OVERDUE, especially for Tai’kin - the ships are still way more powerful than their standard counterparts and still takes the effort of an entire team to kill one ship.
Xenocrystal buff
Is appreciated 
Blaster Turret buff
This one is probably well overdue too since the blaster turret previously was only good for close-range-flakking of other destroyers as it simply couldn’t hit much else. After experiencing the slow effect in battle it seems actually quite good as it can reduce an interceptor from 400m/s to 250m/s (just an example, can’t be f’d doing the math) and actually gives destroyers a good CC debuff other than gravi-lense (was the range buffed btw on that thing?).
Palom MkII (RIP Chat)
I still see no point to why this ship exists. It’s inferior to the base Palom in nearly every way excluding the customisability of it. The arrival of this ship also further enforces the fact that the message for manufactured ships should be _ removed _ from chat as it interferes with the regular use of chat as it’s flooded with Paloms now.
Sec con changes
Don’t play it. Don’t care for it.
HUD changes (but y tho)
The new position and size of the Buff/Debuff icons is going to take a long time to get used to as it’s moved from the top of the screen to the bottom (well, almost) and is much smaller and less noticeable. The size of the icons however is far too small as half the time I can barely see how long a buff has left remaining (EM scattering field mostly) and makes seeing what debuffs are being applied to you harder as they are further away to the right for some obscure reason.
Ninja changes
-All opponents in PvAi are Ellydium. Have fun.
-Ellydium ships can now be found in Open space controlled by AI. Have fun.
tl;dr Good patch, R14s should be permanent, nerf tai’kin more.

I agree with you on the overdue part. And I don’t mind arguments as long as there are any. I’m tired of them doing small useless things, and correcting things they did on purpose while pretending its a surprise. I’m playing it on 1080p on a smaller screen and I don’t have a problem recognizing the buff icons.

Since when did it cost an insanely xxxx amount of credits, to make enriched neo/beryllium?
Can someone please tell me what I am to do with all those Xeno-chips, if I can’t spend them on anything?
Why can’t I use them on something else?
Are activators already able to be traded?
You spend the Xenochips on parts for the premium ships, select them and click on the parts you have/need and instead of buying the crates for GS you will buy them for Xenochips, if you have all premium ships already then bad luck.

Why do paying customers always get screwed?!
How did they got screwed this time?

Well this should be a lesson to you, money doesn’t solve every problem, or bring any happiness, more luck next time Coromak. If you still need some icecream and some Defence Contract runs you know where to find me.

Simple. I pay most of GS to get the ship. I get it, then there is an event open.
I get the mission to get Xeno-chips, but since I already have them all, I can’t use them. Containers are not there, nor is any option in the ship tree.
So, why am I doing the missions for Xeno-chips, if I can’t use them? At least ship parts could be converted to enriched monocrystals. That would fix the problem.
Played 2 games on mid day and 2 games in the night. Can’t say i enjoyed it, yes I noticed the nerfs but it doesnt change the cloaking & warping part. And the fact, that it was mandatory to fly a tackler if I ever wanted to win.
I love the removal of the leave button, it won’t change anything but the symbolic value is to be admired.
What you gonna do about the beacon denial ink bs, I feel ignored. It’s almost like you want ppl to learn not to play objectives.

No it would not fix a problem. 25 monos for 1 game ain’t fair m8.
Even with Xeno is made to get special ships, you already have them(congratz you are like 1 out of 10 ppl that managed that including promo accounts) therefore this even just aint for ya
Man what an underwhelming weekend special. Cmon guys…
I spoke too soon, there is an ambiguous OS event this weekend, oh ho ho!

you are absolutely right
Besides, I am not a part of the ego fight of who wins or not. Both of you are wrong in this matter IMO.
I just want a good game. A game of sportsmanship and equal terms. If I win, let it be to someone who flies better, has a better tactics, aims better, better teamwork. Not some people who farmed/payed to get an edge. Method over means.
[@CinnamonFake](< base_url >/index.php?/profile/257821-cinnamonfake/) do you have an answer to what i said about the game? the things I complain about in general? I don’t really care about that other stuff. Especially not some meme picture. I care about the game and would like to get informative answers/comments about the things I say related to the game.
For example:
Will you stop breaking balance?
Will you try not to?
When you do, is it considered a mistake or is it on purpose?
If so, what purpose?
I would like to get more direct answers. Maybe I’m out of touch, but I think people in general are kept in the dark when they ask questions about the game. And if you don’t know what exactly I mean, ASK ME. Write a PM or sth. I can tell you kosty did not start a conversation with me.
