Huge changes in 61 ships. Of note, the 400i has regained its title as the largest and most capable stealthable ship with the replacement of its second reactor. It was not really possible to fly it on a single stealth reactor so stealth went away when CIG took its second reactor. Now it is replaced and can obtain an sig of just 4.6k, which is great for a ship its size. Speed and maneuverability both increased on this ship.

Lots of other interesting tweeks. The Firebird was nerfed slightly but the Raven got a big boost, so it is now a cagier bird. Very interesting they deliberately created a difference in their flight envelopes.

In general, medium fighters received slight maneuvering nerfs to create a larger difference between them and light fighters. So you will find reasons to consider those smaller whips. Heavy fighters OTOH received small boosts to reduce the differences between them and medium. So your Vanguards and Guardians will answer a bit more quickly.

The Corsair was already flying like shit but it was battered by the nerf bat to the point you’ll wonder if you need to get out and push. This ship is only for players who don’t enjoy flying.

Lots of other changes:
