more than 5 years playing this game for what? I cant belive this patch, I hope that my fleetmates dont gave up on this game.

Are the tuning item drops being switched on tonight too? I don't think it was mentioned.

I love how they're nerfing auto FCS! Give those noobs what they deserve! 

As for the tuning system... may be a problem and then again the solutions offered may be okay.
They are preventing BB6 and Rental ships from equipping them. That's common sense, you wouldn't want to make them too OP.
There is a 10% exp bonus but the question is, is it a one time per battle thing or will it be per ship? If it is per ship, then it will handle itself. Say you hit 10 enemy ships using the tuning system on the other team - congrats, you are getting double exp. Which in itself could cause a long-term "event" to occur - event noobs showing up to stay now thinking they can hit enough people for a double exp, straining the server and making it miserable for everyone else.
On the other hand, if it is a one-time-per battle thing, it may not be enough. 10% hardly makes a dent in some grinds, and if it takes a double exp event to bring on the noobs then what makes $DE think this will be a good incentive?
The fact that the tuning system will not work during HA... this is also a little vague. Will it not work for ANYBODY on the server, like the fact that TNF chases away every trade room during a HA (it should, by the way, instead apply to members of the participating fleets. It doesn't make sense to punish the group because of an individual.) Or will it only effect the participating fleets? If it effected the participating fleets only, then there is no problem. Otherwise... you will have people complaining "I'm not the one doing the HA why do my items have to suffer?"
No. Ability. Cap. Do you realize how far people may go? Unless I'm interpreting it wrong, and there is a fairly restricted amount of items that can be equipped at a time, people will buy boatloads of this stuff. Make their ships insanely powerful. Even if it's like NF2 where you roll to unlock additional slots - people like to brag about how they have 200 vets or more in NF! They will go as far as they want to and then some in this game.

For the BB5 reviews.... I am currently neutral on this issue. There are a few things that could be fixed, though it may particularly be the mere wails of the less experienced players. For example. "The monty doesnt have enough range" or "The h44 doesnt do enough damage" or "The alsace's spread sucks" But in instances such as the Monty's so-called lack of range there are other ways around or advantages to try and settle your disadvantage.

Scout fuels? No problem here. I could care less, since many battleships don't care to use their scouts themselves. And whoever thinks that the CV players will be complaining... think again. This patch only effects the scouts. And while there are CV's who enjoy loading scouts, there are such things as fighters and bombers. I as a carrier player have no objection to this... Me and my fellow airmen will simply get griped more at by the BB's who forget to scout for themselves and start raging because the CV's didn't babysit them. >.>

Question,

Why are the neutral auto FCSes being changed?

My hopes and dreams are gone.
