[Senkii]

Haha, here before the announcement!

 

[Kodey]

Poor cutlass still in the Rando shop

 

[BadgerBadger]

Nice.

 

[Kodey]

Also goodbye tcc ship shop

The chungus was too much for their frail minds

 

[Zaff]

• Company Bank
• Ship Operator Access

Awesome! Like seeing features that enrich player-to-player interactions. Now just awaiting company-level ship access.

 

[Mutleyx]

Oooh, looks like a meaty update!

• Company Bank
• Ship Operator Access

Very cool - looking forward to trying these out!

 

[SubaruSama]

the ship operator access is a really nice feature
especially that you can spawn/despawn them and not only interact with them like when in a group

 

[Cavilier210]

So... why are we nerfing armor more? Unless I'm misreading this.

 

[Meboy1000]

wait hol up, why you gotta nerf all the armor values, seems silly to me

 

[sweer]

so many armor nerfs... for more destruction maybe?

 

[SubaruSama]

maybe they think that combat takes too long
or they want to discourage people from building too heavily armoured boxes because the tradeoff isn't worth it
or they simply want to have people more on edge in the belt, because a fast ambush can already end you instead of 3 strafing runs
or...
