So, when are the new ship lines introduced? Is it in the "Escalation to Inferno" at April 24 or "Inferno" itself on May 22?

Anyone knows? I always though it was not due until Inferno but this thread suggest ship balancing already in Escalation to Inferno in April. It might be some other tweaks ofc but that is why I ask you 
It makes a huge difference for my skill planing next month  |

Right, that makes sense. But such big change also seems more appropriate for a real expansion than sneaked into a small patch, but maybe that is why it is called "Escalation for Inferno".
Edit: Just found out that I need to burn a remap on my alt for this to make it before April 24. |

The official dev blog only mentions Inferno and that is in May but the unofficial post on reddit suggest it is coming already in the pre patch in April. The unofficial post makes sense as suggested by Acac Sunflyier and that is why I am starting to believe that is when it is coming.
As of now, there is a bit of confusion and no official information. I guess you could gamble either way but I am leaning towards not take any chances and burn a remap. |

Yeah, I burned a remap just to be sure. I think there is still time if you can use +4s and have some skills trained but time is running out. |

- We need to overhaul destroyer and battlecruiser ships themselves. Cutting your ability to fly those ships by four without taking care of the underpowered hulls is a no go, because that would mean new players going for one racial line would have a hard time having valid options in these two classes.
- We need to have a very solid skill reimbursement plan set in stone. Most likely, we would take care of the Destroyer and Battlecruiser skill refund in one move to be done with it and avoid the same inconvenience twice for our playerbase.
So no, to my knowledge skill changes are not coming in April; what we are most likely going to start with is to have a look at the tech 1 frigates and cruisers, then move up as time passes, but nothing is fixed yet. We will do our best to let you know in advance if the skill changes are due for a specific release.
Thank you. That was good news (and bad news too since i burned my remap) and we can all relax now. I need to figure out a new skill plan for the year though. |
