In 3.14 CIG standardized all component stats to help them collect stats and perform a balance pass for SQ42. Their goal is to create a rough balance for component archetypes as a whole, so they've reduced the overall variation in stats across all components.
One of the CIG devs explained it in more depth on Spectrum.
The result is that all components of the same Size and Grade are largely the same. If you look on SPViewer, you can see this clearly:
Almost all stats across the board are the same. There are only slight differences where CIG has tuned each archetype (Civilian, Competition, Industrial, Military & Stealth).
This is even more visible when you look at weapons:
Weapons of the same size will share stats with all other weapons with that type (Laser Cannon, Laser Reapter, etc). Beyond choosing the weapon archetype, there is no difference in brands besides the color of the projectile and sound the gun makes.
When CIG implemented this change (3.14 dropped in Aug 2021) we certainly didn't think it would take them 2 years to complete their balance pass... but here we are today.
Thanks! That pretty much explains it!
/thread ?
Also thanks for the link, I hadn't seen that site before and it makes looking at all the stats really easy.
You can also have a look at https://www.erkul.games/. It has the same info, and also includes a ship loadout helping tool!
erkul is the best!
