My suggestion is fairly simple.
Revert the changes done to masts in the hotfix.
Mast HP Buff and Mast Thickness Buff must be reverted.
Demasting was already hard to do before the hotfix. Now its impossibru.
Chaining was used way more than demasting before the hotfix. Now demasting will only be used when SoL are fighting Frigates.
I will link my posts from the feedback topic because i can't be bothered writing the same stuff again.
Please comment/like/subscribe etc etc if you agree. Thaaank you.
EDIT: EliteDelta brought up a good point. The smaller ships seem alright looking at the numbers. But everything bigger than Surprise must be reverted imo.
