I still feel this is an easy fix and would be good for Return Player Value sure you want active players for the super-halc'd PVP system as is but I still feel this would be a good idea despite all the negative feedback from players with no idea what it's like to end up Hospitalized or in a situation where they can't access a phone or operate one due to certain circumstances.
Staying active is all good but retaining a player base from loyal players who are willing to return to a game that milks people regularly (and I make purchases on the game too) is of no significant trouble to the developer or anyone else.
I see nothing that any of you lose by this change and I consider those against it in contempt of a better community spirit that this game so desperately needs. I have nothing to hide and I'm coming back to the game regardless of whether this gets fixed or not but I think some people need better attitudes towards ideas that benefit others rather than simply basing it off what benefits them personally.
Sure I sounded desperate in the initial topic post but wouldn't you be if you were a large ship build before the small ship build change? And no I'd rather not reset my account that's the way I play thank you very much.

If SSBs existed when I first played I'd probably be on that boat but unfortunately you can't roll back certain things in this game or cut out deck space which... should be a GP option in my honest opinion

Another idea for another time but yeah I anticipate a lot of wingers saying it would be unfair game balance especially for all those who reset just to be a SSB in the first place. Same scenario as being LSB before SSB change. No one likes change except for those that benefit from it; although if I were someone else (which I'm not) I'd still think this idea would benefit replayability. Like a star trek episode that someone wants to re-watch which would overall improve player population in the future. Margins would be small to begin with from one single change but it's the bigger picture that matters in the end.
To all naysayers.... to the fiery pits of Sto-vo-kor with you

lol. And bump. Lock if need be who cares all this will get is negative rage from people who don't understand that real life gets rough sometimes. Technology doesn't automatically integrate with people who are in hospital getting treated for whatever reason. It's different for different people.
That's my say this year at least. Hate or nay-say all you want. I for one refuse to get shot-down for something that takes less than a couple of minutes to make a big change

If not for me then for someone else. I'll speak my mind even if it annoys you

There we have it. Enjoy.
