It was deemed overpowered when someone with slaves that cost maybe 500m total, was soloing content that only setups 50b or greater, could solo.

Changing the way slots work so trade slaves could have T1 slaves while combat slaves can't is confusing to new players.

Please don't use the word "slaves".

Free. There is no credit cost on getting giga neuts. The rest of the setup, not so much free.

To add on to the dev blog, I'd also like to point out that there is a new tech 8 laser-splash weapon available from Blanco called the Soul Beam Refraction, from the Station uber. This one doesn't require a capital ship, and was added by Pixel.

For people confused about the "minimum of two part", try reading the line before:
Quote:
Reworked (slightly) the maximum number of bots you can have.


As in, you're always guaranteed to be able to have at least two bots. This restriction comes from the same place as the half rc restriction on the number of combat bots (limiting people to 9 back in the day).

The only time this would ever be an issue is if you have a bot over your RC level; e.g. if you've got RC10 and RadX 20, you could cap a T20 wild slave taking all your RC slots. The minimum of two thing would allow you to gain another slave... If you had the slots for it.

In all honesty, that minimum bound probably isn't needed, but it was there before I made changes.

Awsome, now i have a whole lot of questions about the class rework.

I have heard rumors that a full class reset is going to happen. Is this true?

If this is true, what will happen when/if i am in a ship with a class aug on it when the reset occurs? I do not want to accidentally crash the server or be permanently locked out of my characters.

Will the Class AUgs be reset at the same time as the class skills? This would seem necessary as Berzerker level 15 is no longer possible (if i am understanding the new system correctly). I assume all class weapons items will be revised for the new levels as well?

If the class augs are being reset at the same time, will they be taken off existing ships or left on? This is a serious question, some of the augmenters are very different from the old ones, aug reworks are going to be nessesary.

Class skills will be trainable from anywhere at any time. Even though class skills will be reset, you will be able to re-obtain them easily within just a few seconds.
