EP 176 - Why No Star Citizen Ship is Safe From Nerfs & “Balance” (Ft. EvenLease)

From the Crusader Ares Ion to the Drake Corsair, every ship in Star Citizen will undergo a series of changes between now and “launch”. But why does it happen, and why is it always so surprising? Today I’m joined by fellow ship nerd EvenLease to discuss CIG’s communication around these nerfs, why they occur, and what players should expect regarding their own ships going forward. Queue the conspiracy theories.
