Currently having meta run like scen just sucks. It takes away from the persistence of the universe. The bajillions of ships have made things worse. Kluth used to have the top tier missile and beam ships now they have some meh ships and a few good ones. ICC used to have these things called cannons and carriers and a few ADs now they have MDs and thats it. UGTO has changed the least, staying a meat and potatoes faction with cannons and torps as their best weapons and of course the EAD.
What needs to change. Meta should be 7 systems 2 per faction with 1 center system that has MI and pirates. AI dreads and cruisers need to be commonplace to help with percieved action by players new ones especially. this also lets noobs get prestige in a more fun way than repping. DS should also introduce a grid overlay in the f2 window which shows heatmaps of action so finding a fight is easier. Factions need to have specialisation but have no hard counter to any one ship. This means PD buffs or +1 pd laser per ship. Cloak needs to be buffed a little but ewar needs to exponetially increase the power drain.
Tl;Dr: 7 system MV, better faction specialisaton, no hard counter, pd buffs

Ive been gone for a year or two, sounds like a lot of nerfing happened, sad to hear the kluth are junk now.
Game used to be really fun, i would bounce around all 3 factions b/c i liked the different ships and what they offered. Judging from what your saying ICC and Kluth are pretty much a waste to fly.
Do people still work on improving the game? Or has it faded away with only maintenance?

All these"why DS is bad nowdays" topic are turning into really bad fan fiction stories.

This. While there are problems with the devs constantly "balancing" the game, all these threads are becoming an eyesore. I want to ask a moderator or whoever to close this one and limit posts to a single thread.

The hardest part of developing a game is putting up with back and forth armchair development.
