I highly doubt it's going to change the game. It's just going to add another layer, and make me actually consider using a Dominator or Onslaught again.

(sorry, Temjin; that's the 2nd post I've lost today while editing - can Ctrl-V save me? And...)

I'm terrified of the introduction of ship systems. I think I'm going to have to learn to play the game all over again.

The common phrase "that's a real game-changer" gets thrown around a lot in contexts where it's either not true or simply doesn't belong. Here, though with ship systems it is quite true indeed. I'm eager to see these but, like you, I am also just a wee bit nervous. ;)

Oh and unlike some folks, I am greatly looking forward to the EMP-enabled Omen point-defense frigate! ;D Can you imagine the chip on its shoulder now? "PH3@R M3!" I admire the underdog.

Hounds with flares. Could those things get more annoying in the early game? Apparently they can.

ECCM package will ruin hounds now. Harpoons might hit

Which won't hurt nearly as much as a better tracking harpoon

I think the ECCM gives better speed and turning, but im not sure.

Didn't the ECCM package just give missiles better anti-flare detection systems?

Burn Drives on a freighter. Battle Barges ftw~!

Since the normal role of a freighter in combat is "GTFO ASAP" wouldn't that be far too useful for preventing interception?
