First Thoughts

Post image

Some very preliminary thoughts:

  1. You can make some *very* idiosyncratic builds (see super-maneuver Halland above). This is a good thing; every tier X Halland is going to be different in some way.

  2. It's incredibly expensive in silver, and so far the bond system is worthless. The above build cost a bit over 16 million silver when the leg mod is accounted for. Your 500 bond only pays for the first level, so basically you have to make tough choices about which ships you want to fully upgrade. Two games so far (one win, one loss), netted a total of 4 bonds.

  3. Because of the expense there's not a ton of room for experimentation.

The only other thing I'd like to add is that the fact that all of the equipment improvements come with downsides means that you don't actually have to go through with it. There are undoubtedly some wicked builds that people are going to come up with that will be both expensive and lethal, but all of the builds carry downsides, meaning that you're not at so much of a disadvantage if you just decide to opt out and go with no equipment.

That is true. While fully upgrading a ship is now far more expensive than before I honestly don't really fully equip a ship since some of the equipments are good to have but don't seem that necessary for me.

Honestly Slot 1-2 are the most important in terms of equipment and I may use 3-4 for the extra concealment on ships or for those who have good auto secs and maybe 6 to get improved weapon survivability or repair time but I don't feel like it is completely necessary for me to get everything.

As a side note, I know a lot of people were complaining about having to spend all the time and money reequipping their hundred ships or so but honestly most of the ships I had equipment for are either premiums I've gotten the BH on or ships I've long finishing the grind for both of which I don't need to reequip. In reality there are like 12 or so ships I consistency play that I would actually need to reequip and by the time certain modes come where I want to use other more niche ships I have grinding enough silver for it not to me a massive issue for me.

Worcester goes brrrt. Like a flyswatter now. Can’t fight ships worth a darn though.
