appreciate the feedback! To be left hanging makes me want to quit. To know a fix is coming makes me want to stay and wait for it.

I wanted to ask that question, but then I remembered that I'm barely qualified to set my VCR (lolvideocassettes). I wonder why it has to be so complicated...

No offense, but I find it ironic that the Dev Team is quick to nerf Efficient Impulse Engines in citing them to be Overpowered, and yet Beam Fire at Will is unquestionably Overpowered in both PvP and PvE, and it's on a lower priority than that and Season 4.
This news along with the lastest Ask Cryptic, really does not send a positive message to the PvP community. Many of the best PvPers have left and few remain. At this rate you might as well close up PvP its going to be ignored.

Agreed, in the last Ask cryptic a fleetmate asked a question about changes to space PvP. Somehow, (and i think on purpose) the question was ignored and thrown into a general pvp answer that was focused on ground PvP and the new ground changes. In no way did it answer the question about space pvp which is what more people play.
