To go back to the topic of impending ship removals.
I'm definitely okay with the Tundra and Avalon going away as the Tundra was just an even worse version of ships already so bad there was no non-cargo reason to use them, not to mention redundant with the mudskipper now being a thing, and the Avalon was a frigate sized carrier, which is pointless because it was so rare and any money you might have been saving was basically negated by how much you were gonna spend on the fighters anyways, you may as well pony up for a Condor that won't die to any stiff breeze.
The Vista and Sloop I think still have a place, they're a bit meatier than the vanilla civilian ships, and I think that's a handy bit of variety to have a few "civilian" ships with at least mediocre bite to them.
The Summit is just "baby's first cruiser" as far as I can tell, an anchor for fleets that can't afford an Eagle or Falcon either because of money or reputation, it doesn't feel redundant alongside the Starliner at all.
I never use shuttles so I won't comment on the Tick.
I'm 100% in favor of a Camel rework, it's just as overall underwhelming as the Mule is.
I'm reaaaaally getting a bad taste in my mouth over the reason we're removing the Kestrel, since it basically amounts to balancing SS+ against THI, I very much like the whole Eagle family of cruisers and the variety it has, but I guess the consequence of that is that I can't think of anything I really like about the Kestrel in particular.
Never used the Locomotive or Sentinel, I gotta say I don't really care if they get the axe.
Now the Bull...the Bull is a ship I have encountered frequently and used myself, and I'm definitely against doing away with this, the fact that the Mudskipper MkII and Buffalo MkII together do the same thing as a single Bull is more of a plus for the Bull than anything, it's supposed to be on the upper curve of ridiculous junkyard engineering and it's actually an okay destroyer for what it is, so while those two ships do the same thing, the Bull does them better. Plus there is just simply no such thing as too much variety for pirates, in any other faction trimming the fat on ship rosters is pretty okay, no sense in paying exorbitant fees to maintain production of a ship that is for most intents and purposes redundant, but the pirates are just non-standard ships and equipment as far as the eye can see.
