General Discussion / Re: Some bloat content
« on: March 03, 2024, 10:20:53 AM »
I didn't want this thread to focus on those 2 ships in particular. My wider concern is that SS has been steadily accumulating content over its huge dev cycle to the point trying to balance everything might slow down work, have unintended consequences or just bloat the selection with like X but better stuff.
Case in point the Missile Autoloader hull-mod which was added in no small part so the Eagle & Falcon would remain competitive with the newer cruisers. And while that was a good addition similar cases might throw something else out of whack.
As for general availability, that is as simple as tweaking the markets so that there's no need to have X just because Y doesn't show up often. I get that people are cautious of power creeps, but hoarding every piece of content ever added due to slippery slope worry is not a solution.
