Hello,

id like to point out an issue thats become more and more severe as time goes on.
TLDR: can you revert the silent buffs to the sirius units youve done a couple of times by now ?

it appears to be a trend that every time a new tc part comes, sirius units, ship parts, systems get nerfed in one way or another, to what i assume is the lack of oversight in how much cryo can tc ships make in siri.
you nerfed sirius aim scrambler, rd, and armor in many ancient ships.
you buffed R5 units multiple times in hp, damage.
you lowered the drop chance of bps.
you increased the drop reduction system to essentially double the rate it was before the change.

most siri ancient ships(the ones that are designed for the sirius system), are at a point of not being usable at all.
the only siri ships that are playable and are used is punisher and myst.

myst used to have very low hp now it has the highest of all the ancient ships and with its items it seems its intent is to be the tank ship of them all.

punisher is only playable as a damage only ship mostly without armor because methanoid armor on punisher with full items is completely useless nowadays and actually inferior to deluvian or thermograde in terms of both survivability and damage.

the issue is at a point where ANY ancient ship is having issues surviving without needing to run away. myst for example cannot even heal over a giza damage with both sir rd AND siri aim scrambler active at the same time which is honestly just ridiculous considering those are supposed to be the strongest items in the entire system and R5 enemies should by design have difficulty aimed at mostly kenyte equipped draconis ships...
i know that most players dont even get to use kenyte items in this day and age when everyone has full sirius equipped ships at their disposal but at the same time, sirius system is more than a decade old, is considered legacy content, we already have 3 more entire tiers of items,ships,armors at our disposal, we are supposed to be stronger and thats fine, stop balancing sirius around tau ceti ships and items.... if you want players to grind cryonite elsewhere of sirius create an incentive to do so and dont break older content because of it....

i understand that sirius system is supposed to be the "group" system, but making all of the ancient ships useless is certainly not gonna achieve that goal,
and gameplay loop of constant running away from sirius units and coming back is not the kind of "group synergy" that is too fun to play either.

the difficulty should be in game mechanics and how well you play and not by how much your ship is inferior to their intended surroundings while using the best items it can be equipped with, and this goes beyond sirius aswell...

As far as I can tell, Sirius was released buffed. Is it okay to say that? Anyway. Over time, the Sirius techs, ships (rdx/prototypes) and ancient ships were adjusted so that these ships do not appear too strong in relation to tau ceti vénar.

The opponents seem stronger because they can withstand more than the regular opponents on tau ceti.

To be able to offer a proper star system again, these changes were made.

I understand what you mean, but changing the whole thing again would be a mess. Tau ceti tech levels and armors would clash as well as the other armors.

This was all in preparation for tc1. But you should actually know that.
