Commanders!
Following the reveal of the Unique Upgrades balance changes, we noticed quite a lot of questions and concerns about the reasoning behind the buffs and nerfs announced. There was some confusion around various of the changes and some of you found it hard to justify them, as they seemingly contradicted a pre-existing perception of particular ships and upgrades.
We appreciate your involvement in this interesting topic, and we'd like to share more details and insight about how we approached UU balancing. Hopefully it will give you more context for the planned changes. The information below is up-to-date and current. Depending on further tests and changes, our approach may still be altered.
