We asked for Shield bleed and got instead a petite Voxel buff and a slight nerf somewhere else. I thank NQ for their effort but it is how you say not enough.
Someone said the reason behind it is that a fleet of moving Capital ships is stress to the server so they prefer not to make these relevant again. And even if they would get good at some point who has the will to fly for hours to get to a Roid or an Alien core at 20k kmh they trully nerfed the big ships to the ground.
It could have been worse tho if they had made the xs craft relevant in this patch.
