The Lancer is no disaster, Attanni Mindlink is.

Categorically incorrect. Mindlink is not, nor has it ever been, the problem - was anyone complaining about it before Wave 9? Quite the opposite, actually: most players were writing it off as overly complex rubbish. But once underpriced ships with green hard turns turned up, it exploded in usefulness. The two named Lancers (Sabine doesn't count since she's too far the other way: worthless) are both underpriced for their capabilities, and Fenn Rau is the poster child for criminally underpriced ships (28 base points for infinite Proton Rockets is not right however you look at it).

Fixing the symptoms of a problem instead of the cause will not actually solve the problem (case in point: Jumpmaster).

Nym, at least, we agree on - just one too many little things adding up to a ship that performs far beyond its sub-40pt cost.

I still don't understand why everyone is so demanding for more previews when one of the game's most notable issues is the accelerated release schedule leading to an unacceptable lack of testing and consequently to balance disasters like the Jumpmaster, Lancer, Nym etc. Nothing should be more important than a timely, relevant (anything done about Mindlink, for example, would be too little too late) errata to try and rein in some of the nonsense that is starting to push longer-term players away, and yet all anyone can seemingly do is clamour for "MOAR" trouble to be added onto the pile.


[As a side (and personal) note, the Star Wing can go and rot. Out of nothing but pure spite I hope it's terrible when it finally releases]

Guns 4 Hire, and all of Wave 12 and 13 all have status "On the Boat", which means their development and production run is 100% complete. There will be no more changes to them before release. They are free to provide more detailed previews at any time.
