Well, i can't say that i like the new name, but we'll see about that in a few months, now the change is too recent to be objective.
So, feedback about some of the changes:
EMP -> geez, i love it. Thunders were already buffed by the reduction of the ion cannon's flux generation, now the emp arcs make these fighters even better, especially agains low-tech ships.
Aurora shield -> i always wanted an omni shield on her as her mounts are effective in a 360° arc but her shield was not. Now i can keep it down and use the speed boost and still be capable of defending myself against stray missiles. It works a lot better with the idea of "attack cruiser".
Tachyon lance -> Very good weapon now, the best combo is with kinetic weaponry, so that first you take down their shields and then disable their weapons. Needlers are especially good at this, as the enemy tries to tank all the needles on its armor, giving you a big time window to strike with the Lance!
Prometheus-class supertanker -> damn that ship is nice. I can't wait to blow it up.
New graphics -> i like the new Character UI, it's nice to look at and works intuitively. The change to the needlers is nearly right, but i feel that their colour should be a bit lighter... But the change is also too recent to be completely objective.
Guardian PD -> if there was a way to set it to PD only it would be nice, it keeps wasting charges on shielded ships. But the improvements are great, i could actually use it on my Odissey along with Tachyon lances as a fire support capital ship.
Decorative "weapons" -> yay! I just hope that modders don't go overboard with those.
Overall, great patch as always! Keep up the good work!
