In the test server, suggestions are being made to adjust the ships that have been in use
for years. Things that I have seen include making it so that all nations except the UK
can't carry as much armor, shortening ranges, speeds, damages and so on. I strongly
disagree. I think that if people have been playing for years to level their crew and they
do so based on the data at trainworld or in the shipyard section of this website to
suddenly change the ships and their L120 crews would be wrong. People have spent money,
time, and effort into planning and building their crews. To suddenly change it all
wouldn't be right, especially because the game mechanics does not allow sailors to change
nations.

So, for example, if you have a USN crew and you level up a bunch of reps to L120 to go AW
on a Nebraska, then suddenly you find that the armor is nerfed to the point where a BB3/4
in another nation with reps is better, you would be angry. Well that is where I am at
right now. The point isn't if you agree that you can AW a USN BB6. It could just as easily
be any ship or any other type of crew.

My suggestion is that once SDE puts a ship into play, its done. The ship is the ship and
you play the game with it. The test server should have been used to test MN and SN ships
before they ever saw the first day in the game. The USN, IJN, UK, and KM ships have been
around for a long time and its not fair to the people that worked to get them to suddenly
change them. "Balancing" as I'm quite sick of hearing, shouldn't meant that something
exisiting is changed. It should mean that something new is made to work in an existing
system. Fooling around with ships will make more people angry and leave then convincing
new ones to join.

I recc for this thread means that you like your ships the way they are (USN, IJN, UK, KM)
and you don't want them nerfed. Once ships are in play they are done.
