In today's ISC they literally refer to the Odyssey as "a Carrack killer". That's a bit of a kick in the face to people who dished out hundreds of dollars to fund this game CIG. You shouldn't be designing ships to invalidate other ships, you should be designing ships with their own strengths and weaknesses and let players decide what fits their style. - CIG shouldn't make light of people spending lots of money. - CIG should balance the game so all ships have a purpose.
