This seriously needs to be changed. Higher tiers were never fair when matched up against lower tiers based on module selection, hull and shield amounts, and a slew of other things.
The only thing we should see in a match is the same tier, I shouldn’t have to worry about nukes or the slew of other Tier 3 weaponry that I am not even allowed to use yet my foes will continually sling these our way.
Just change it back to how it was before, stop ‘fixing’ things if they’re not broken.
