[EDIT] The MSR atmospheric speed issue appears to have been resolved. No other ships have been updated from what I can see. Whereas it's great that the MSR is in a more sensible space now, it's rough that the Defender has yet to get this treatment because it has a significant impact to combat capability and outcomes in the air. That said, I'm not going to petition this any further, with Master Modes on the horizon. [/EDIT] I saw recent ship mass reduction for various ships as a positive change because of the increase in hydrogen cruise time. However, in a post discussing this for the MSR, it was brought to my attention by Hof_The_Ardor that atmospheric flight speeds were taking a big hit. His response to that post is here: https://robertsspaceindustries.com/spectrum/community/SC/forum/325358/thread/mass-reduction-of-msr-positive-impact-to-hydrogen-/6374679 Summary - MSR atmo speed (1000m ArcCorp) has dropped from 243 to 169 m/s (i.e. 30% reduction). I tested this with the Defender which was changed in a recent ePTU patch using Winner's Circle at 1000m. PU Normal > 363 m/s Boosted > 560 m/s ePTU Normal > 275 m/s (reduction of 24%) Boosted > 390 m/s (reduction of 30%) I don't know if this was intended, but it's a real kick in the pants for any ship to take a hit of this magnitude. For the Defender, one of its main virtues was atmospheric flight speed and now it's gone. @YogiKlatt-CIG Can you advise whether it's intended - or should we raise this as an Issue Council report?
