    A lot of stuff will get better now. Weapons like standard cannon, swift Torp, standard mortar, carronade required 100% commitment to be effective. That's why very few used them because there were clearly better options in those trees. Not that's all gone, we will hopefully see more diversity in weapons.

    There are just a few things that I’ll watch with interest:
    • Can more Mk5’s (or whatever they’re called now) get into NML now they have access to extra slot?
    • What will happen at the top of NML?
    • Will this change the balance between ships/meta?
    • Will boosting power of lower quality weapons and giving lower Mk captains access to all slots help prevent abuse in events?

    It would be great if they had a “text me when the server is back up” option so we wouldn’t all be sitting here trying to open the app over and over. :)

    It will be interesting to see, however with increased power and increased HP......the balance may well still be the way it is now

    To be fair, it will be 3 somewhere in the world when it finishes. So they’ll be simultaneously right and wrong, a bit like Schrodingers Cat theory.

    Except it's just weird to have patch notes that don't explain things that are happening in the patch.

    I suppose that they're not exactly known for their transparency, but this seems a bit much

    Question to @Zeus: What is going to happen to burn bonuses for "All Cannons"?

    I'm mark 5. Level 39. I run all epic weapons, the way im hearing it is that I wasted a sh*t ton of real currency getting those weapons because they want to balance the game for "talented" players who haven't upgraded their weapons.

    Thats a bit harsh!

    Imagine being the person to answer all the questions posed on here, and elsewhere (I mean, 132 posts on this announcement alone, in 2 hours) - they have provided info, just because it isnt what YOU want to see, doesn't mean they arent being transparent :)

    I am guessing split, each canon will have its own fire dmg options in the tree......that isnt really a tree anymore, just a list :p

    Probably a page of them are related to "what are ship pieces?"

    There have been questions about it since the video came out and there are already several threads about it in general discussion.

    Something as major as "We have a new ship, it requires a new currency" and not a word about how that currency is obtained is completely unsatisfactory.

    To be fair, there are a few ‘all’ bonuses that span several weapons (eg point damage etc). I guess we’ll have to wait and see.
