Huge Gimbaled Weapons, or possibly not!

[Xebeth]

Well looks like FD had a change of heart. This CG things must have made a whole lot of players really mad.

Have fun, fly safe. o7

Or it's just dreadful communication from start to finish.
It's always been the case that CG's has only had a rather localized effect (some argue they are mislabelled) so suddenly having one that would seemingly affect all of us is plumb weird.

Seriously the community "reps" need to freaking start having morning coffe together or something. Or they should all be sacked and find someone able to write and maintain a goal\event log or something.

FD - "now is this my arse or my elbow?"

or

"Hey why don't we release the gimbaled weapons via a CG?"
"Cool, people will like that, something for the non-beta testers to do whilst they wait for 2.1"
.
.
"So, how did we tell people about the weapons being released via a CG?"t
"um, what?"
"You did actually tell them, right?"
"Well, it was in the tier info"
"yes, but you know actually tell them"
"um"
.
.
"OMG, guys, have you seen the forum and redit?"
"Ah, crap!!"

There were comments from the leads that everything from the beta will eventually be in the game, but yea, the communication in CG description AND the timeslot that it had were really really messed up.

Good news. Now everyone can tell Kermit to stand down.

I'm going to strike a note of dissent but I think this is brilliant (and I did/do plan to fit the new huge weapons), this is the player influenced content people have been screaming for and will teach us all to keep an eye on CG's and their possible hidden importance.
