Not sure if this is a bug or intended, but personally I don’t think being able to equip one size smaller weapons with gimbals should even be an option.

The reason the Hornet is meta right now is because it can run things like S3 NDBs on S4 mounts. Weapon sizes should be fixed, and you should be choosing your ship based on the weapons you want to use. (Sabre and Defender only have 4x S3, though…)

Originally, downsizing through gimbals was meant to be a trade-off for the aiming assist. The weapon balance only really broke once ships were able to equip same-size weapons on gimbals.

I don’t think it should go back to how it used to be, where gimbals forced a size reduction, but overall weapon flexibility probably needs to be reduced.

When I heard a scrap button was being added, I was excited thinking we’d finally be able to delete ships… but apparently that’s not the case.

Ships I bought in-game but no longer need, Polaris loaners like the Super Hornet, random Wikelo gacha ships, CZ stuff… my ASOP has basically turned into a junkyard at this point.

I’m not even asking to be able to sell them. Deleting is fine. Hell, even just hiding them would be enough — I just want to see a clean ASOP again.

I’m sure a lot of people in the same situation are even hoping for a wipe because of this. CIG, please… just give us a delete button for ships.

That said, being able to store stolen ships is actually a great change. It’ll probably be a lot of fun, especially for players who only have a starter.

Right now, the F8A is unlocked in Evocati.

XenoThreat is coming back in 4.8, and I remember the last time they returned two years ago.

Yeah — that was the Overdrive Initiative, when the F7A got unlocked.

The 100% completion reward for the 4.8 event is still unknown.

I’m betting it’s going to be the F8A.
