Something seems very wrong here.

So a ship the size of a city ( Renzu Liner Infocard ) has to lose cargo space in the name of balance, as a former Naval Engineer, that's BS.

It's not balance at all, as I said, a ship that size wouldn't even notice the additional stuff as it's built to have that equipment as standard issue.

Don't ever bring realism and common sense here, when discussing ship stats/availability. =\

Current trend is that we're moving from it towards balance (at least PvP wise, with more and more factions getting access to Capital Fleets)

AS an engineer for the last 45 years, I have to concur with RC, that's pretty much the same as you buying a motor car, fitting a cd player and losing a passenger seat, it's retarded.

this kind of useless piece of junk is why players are going to other servers, GC has a responsibility to the whole community, not just the pirate / pvp motivated main server.

It's one thing to say it's for balance, but it's illogical to say that advances in technology are leading to what amounts to an excuse to limit player's game playability.

As an engineer - you should know that the visible part of a turret represents only a portion of the whole mechanism.

The GC devs have 'responsibility' for the community - when the community starts paying for the privilege.

Gotta love the entitlement complex of 'the community'!

If we continue to lose players because they get too frustrated by the way things are added into disco, sooner or later even GC wont fill up at peak times.

From things I hear, Diablo 3 was just released.

GC's population rises, and it falls, and it rises again.

People declared the 'end of Disco' when bomber changes were made, when Gallia arrived in 4.85, when 4.86 took three damn years to put out.

They are still declaring the end of Disco by the sounds of it!
