I just read the Alliance Tournament post regarding the new prize ships, and I can see in public writing that CCP is putting in place measures to preserve the uniqueness of the old prize ships. Bravo.
There are still problems in my mind that need to be solved. For example, other than preserving the uniqueness of the old ships, I am not sure what needs to be done with respect to their power levels. If the new slight variant prize ships are the same philosophy of ship but are either buffed or nerfed, I am not sure if that’s fair, or similarly, if the old prize ships are buffed or nerfed correspondingly, again, I am not sure about that.
This is the kind of paradox that gets created by tampering. I am glad the uniqueness is being preserved though that was very important.
