    Tbh I fly almost exclusively science vessels and I don’t see the changes as too bad. Sure the small shards being immune to controls is a bit silly when a simple resistance would have made more sense but I’ll still be able to nuke the entity with a massive barrage of EPG damage anyway.
    Plus all those tholian ships are not immune so they can get sucked up to add some core breach damage to my output too.
    The mission just needs a bit more careful firing and flying now as opposed to the dull snooze-fest it’s been for years.

    The problem is more and more things are getting immune to Control effects, and second it already takes forever to pop CCA, with this they finished it for good.

    If you really want to see how hard CE is, do like we did in another fleet years ago. Get a group of shuttles to go in and give it a try. It was a disaster, but it was fun trying! BTW.... hit me up if anyone wants to give this a try now. I'd be willing to give it another go.

    They obviously don't care about anything but pew pew anymore...just nerf after nerf after nerf to Science...I mean you basically can't hold much as it is with GW without being loaded up the wazoo with control expertise.
