The Battle Pirates Professor

There is a new forsaken mission out with new prizes, but it has been a busy week and I'm still catching up.  I think I'd like to focus on the aftermath of the raid, and catch up with the new Forsaken Mission later.
As a quick thought on this - we have a month where you can hit the "old style" targets, and with 50 million points you can get all of the new gear. Use this month to get your fleets ready for next month....

So the raid started out and it was really hard.
And players complained.
And then they nerfed the Mega hulls a bit.  And gave us a little point bonus (Mine sure didn't seem like 30%... but bygones)

Don't confuse Civil War: Broken Council with Captain America: Civil War... the Captain America movie was awesome... even if I did have to tell the guy sitting in front of me "Please stop it!" when he had his phone out 10 minutes into the movie playing...

As I suspected, it has been tough to find the time for timely, regular posts, but I'll try to run through some thoughts on the changes to the Revenge, and some thoughts on what we've seen about the next raid (Civil War) so far.
Revenge Changes:
On the changes to the Revenge, I'm going to start with the ironic observation about all the players who take to the Kixeye forums and Facebook bitterly complaining that changes to the game involving Deflection Bypass were not communicated well enough...
