The changes to the lasher don't directly affect my playing, so I'm not worried about myself, but we do have a lot of players that use it, and I hope, that it is something reasonable that they've done to the Lasher. I was on Emerald yesterday as NC, and I was getting owned by it. (The Lasher) I was starting to get frustrated then I remembered- I'm really VS on Markov!
So I went back to the sane Empire, and my Magrider, and I was Happy.
I'm going to continue to play, until it gets to be unbearable, or I die or something. There's no reason to get rid of PS yet, even with the poor Dev decisions. We've got too good a group here to let the Dev team fuck us over.
