It is temporary as they figure out how far they want each size and type of ship to go on a tank of gas. Once they have the basics down, they will adjust the individual drives and ships. (Or at least that is how I would do it. One parameter at a time.) In the past they have changed multiple parameters at once then wondered what went wrong.My post is more about the larger ships that had recent quantum tank nerfs (ie. Corsair) rather than smaller fighter craft.
Granted this nonsense should have been figured out about a decade ago, but this is CIG.
