What will the 1 of a ship rule mean for bans? Will we mostly see logi and utility banned? ---

The alliance tournament had a nice secondary effect of helping single out ships that can be considered overpowered and help with future balancing, but module restrictions make sense in a area fight where you can’t reposition to another celestial or system. Looking forward to the fights. ---

Are ancillary varieties of local repairers allowed to ignore meta restrictions on flagships? Rules only say shield boosters and armor repairers, which those modules technically are. But I would like some clarification on this one. ---

Not yet, but you will be with the introduction of Mutaplasmids on May29. Well, not _technically_ Meta Level, but in practical consequence, you’ll see Ancillary Reppers/Boosters with different stats. ---

Sorry might sound like dumb question but when fielding two frigate logi we can only still field one of each ship type right? So for example you can’t run two deacons can you ? ---

I guess now it will have to be amarr + gal or mini + cal for frig logi, but that also means people can’t really bring ecm setup’s which is sweet I hate seeing them xD As half are shield half armor. ---

In regards to TD, I would like to reiterate my support for simply allowing the entire alliance access, then letting us set-up a corp to limit access to only our team members. In this way CCP does not need a roster or have to devote any dev time to managing rosters / access. We can do that ourselves. ---

GalMil enter the individual alliances - Galmil as a whole would be a strong prospect if we could actually get everyone practicing and pulling in the same direction ;D ---

You didn’t clarify how the rules would work with Grand Final and reuse rule, by the way. It’s completely broken if there is a 1 game advantage in the Grand Final. > [@Intigo](#): > > Has the winner’s bracket 1 game advantage of the Grand Final been removed? Otherwise that makes the re-use rule a bit insane in the Grand Final - it would give far too big an advantage to the team coming from the Winner’s Bracket. > > Or you make it so the first win for loser bracket team in the Grand Final doesn’t ban any ships, your choice. Personally I think removing the game advantage is best - you already have the advantage of fewer fights and a lot less stress when you come from WB. > > These rules look fun, hope prizes will be great. ---

Kinda sad and happy about the 1 ship rule was hoping to see retribution fleet’s T\_T but at least comp’s will be very different from previous year’s. ---

“For these two series, any time a team wins a match they will not be allowed to bring any of the ship types they fielded in that match for the rest of the series. The losing team in each match will be free to bring the ship types they lost with again if they wish.” Does this apply to Flagships?
