Last I heard, according to the matchmaker, the only thing that balances against a destroyer, is another destroyer of the same rank. By removing these R14 ones from production, won’t that bugger up matchmaking? It’s one thing to remove some component put on a ship from availability for a time, but a completely new tier of a new class of ship, which is considered to have no equal other than another one of its type, and rank, that just doesn’t make sense from a game play stand point. Don’t bugger up the game by being greedy, and trying to blackmail the people too easily parted with their money into buying destroyer material boxes.

other than being a bit surprised that Jericho isn’t the last one in line, making only 1 available at a time seems a bit odd, I’m not complaining, but it is defiantly a break from the norm. I take it that after the 3rd destroyer gets its time in the sun the build cycle will either repeat or be discarded?
We won’t be able to build any of them after the event cycle is over for some time, based on how long other event items took to enter regular access, it could be quite a number of months

I’m still a bit confused about the R14s. So in 18 days, no matter whether enough resources was distributed or not to players to craft a Sirius the ship will become unavailable for crafting for a long time.
Does this mean that I’m going to have to pay to get my Jericho Destroyer 
See above, and supposedly the event will give enough materials in time to make the Jericho one, which is the next one, not sure if that will be true, or not though.

OK…so i just make my problem as simple as i can.
for myself a R14 destroyer = $200~300, and for what the Sirius shows up right now, like own special skill and model, Sirius worth it. so i do get the plan for there other two.
but, if there will be a Premium Destroyers or some other discount about R14 destroyers that will made it really…depressed? pay so much for play few days earlier…because we all know that at the new year there always be some big dicount, and this is what i worried about.
if u can say that the price we have right now, is the lowest price we can get for R14 destroyers for like coming half year, than…take the money and give me the r14 destroyers i mean all of them…
Things ALWAYS go down in price in time, or become more accessible, it’s inevitable. Also based on what you said, you’re the type of person this limited period of availability plan would be targeted at, the type willing to just farm the materials from the cash shop using their credit card since they don’t want to miss the chance to get these new ultra shiny toys, now.
