" I'm aware that the news is not as hoped but I'd prefer to update now than keep people in the dark until the Galaxy releases." To me this is not about "news not being as I hoped" it would be. This is you as a company presenting a ship, in a certain role that people were able to pledge for and did pledge for because of this role. Now you come with a comment: "1) Emphasis on no current plans, this does not exclude that there were plans in the past (as inferred at CitizenCon 2953) or that there could be again in the future, there is simply nothing right now." Confirm internally and make the plan. People want this. Pledged for this. You all showed this last year for this particular ship. This is not a nerf / tweak / boost to a ship. This is about removing a role. That is my view on it. Regards Stundar
