I didn't had read whole this thread and I don't know if this idea was ever posted, but how bout you dev guys release minor updates every 1 month or less and stop preparing the big bang called 4.86, 4.87, 4.88. Updating let's say, only the front line: like Stokes is taken over by GRN and the next month after a nice event BAF takes it back, add new models from time to time, change the stats for random ships to give them a feeling of OP then bring them back to normal... guess u got my point
