This be a (temporary) place to discuss the new power dev build. Post your thoughts, have those (constructive) arguments! I'll start by saying that everything is changed, don't compare old numbers to new numbers, old mechanics to new mechanics. If you do, you'll get confused.

Nothing on the Devs, please have mercy, but sitting in anticipation of a huge update as of this when almost 2 weeks ago you were showing it to us working, and trying to think of how to change my ships' build is painful. I understand that coding and developing this game takes time and so do the...
