    Well, many people will very pissed that their Punishers with XF DC will get a mass boost. 




    Agreed, and the game team is hyper aware of this. However, if there's a bug then we need to fix it. Hopefully the substantial refit discount period combined with getting free refits automatically for any ships that go overweight helps everyone get themselves sorted out.

    So, for the Infernal AP Driver, if it's researched already, will it be hidden again, or will it still be visible?

    We'll, it's a good thing that the game will offer a free refit for the overweight Punishers. I may have to adjust a couple of them to fit with the new rules regarding the XF DC.

    I suspect it will be hidden once again. Even if not - won't do much good since I don't think there's a time frame for the Infernal AP Driver to ever be released (that I'm aware of).

    If you did research this recipe, file a ticket with Support including the time and date you started this research and they'll see about refunding your resources or gold.

    @CM Chris, will (xeno) shatter driver be fixed in this release? I hope it's a part of minor fixes.

    Thanks for the clarification. I didn't coin it and the resources used for researching it are miniscule with my current storage capacity, so no harm done.

    Wow kix u are seriously screwing us over by greatly increasing the mass of all punisher weapons. All of our punishers will be worthless now. You cant just decide to change how mass of weapons is distributed this late in the game. We have been building punishers for months. We will require lenghty refits that cant be accomplished in 48 hrs. Also you have buffed the event fleets so much that any reduction in armor will make punishers nearly worthless. They wont be able to withstand multiple hits.




    If you read the release notes, if your Punisher did end up becoming overweight due to the new rules of the XF DC, you'll be given a free refit. That means no time will be wasted redoing the Punisher. Who knows, maybe you can take advantage of this and swap out the XF DC with another XF weapon or add more/better armor.

    -Support for Plasma Damage

    Wow. This is how xeno gets obsolte. Ofc only the new Tier6.5 ships will have build-in plasma resistence and all older tier ships will get True-Dmg by 10k-15k DPS or more (also from NPCs). Everybody started to not fit shield on xeno ships cause the resistence Talonite armor is much more efficient than shield. Have fun getting True-Dmg on your Xeno ship with only armor. This is the point where Kixeye say: "for maximum efficiency you should gte the new tier as fast as possible". I hope the new Tier ships dont have build-in alien resistence thus in pvp both Xeno and AIXS ships die on the same fast speed xD.

    Sorry, please delete above.



    @cmchris , the free refit for overweight punishers will definitely help mitigate the overweight ships for high level players.



    However, I think there are a large group of players who use non-max weight punishers due to fleet bay restrictions. They cannot make use of fullly fit punishers, because doing so would limit them to 1 or 2 punishers instead of 3 or 4.These players will not get a free refit, but they will potentially be required to refit in order to make their fleet mass acceptable.



    Does that make sense? Is there a plan to help those players?




    The typical 20% Refit Discount period that runs for 24 hours has been extended to 48 hours and is now a 50% Refit Discount. See July Content Calendar for reference.

    Players plan builds on ships ahead of time. They might not have all the things equipped on a ship now to complete a build at mk5, but the planned build will no longer be viable and they would not qualify for a free refit. This seems unfair to everyone. Also it is entirely possible for ships to be undermass but over the mass levels for all ships to now fit into a fleet and require refitting due to this "bug".

    Now going on the topic of bug. Armoured thrusters for Demon Corp also benefit for a armour mass reduction so does Xeno Armoured Thrusters. The former has been in the game for a long time will these be being "fixed"

    It looks less like a bug fix and more like a game alteration.

    Finally, Xeno pve fleets were balanced with punishers as they are now. Does this mean they will be rebalanced to make them easier in line with the alterations to the punisher cruiser


    The Refit discount period has been extended to 48 hours and bumped to a 50% discount for players who need additional refits but don't qualify for the free one by being overweight. 

    My understanding is that only Armor and Armored Hold is eligible for the -% mass discount. Anything else that is currently giving the discount will not anymore. I've reached out to get additional clarification, though.

    PvE fleet difficulty - as always - will be balanced in accordance with the data that we see from combat. If adjustments need to be made they will be.
