They effect existing ships.

There's a difference in the populace's perception of time versus the build schedule. We're generally developing months in advance. Aside from that, it's more on a combination of issues. The first is that warships are supposed to have high speeds, but they're maintaining that speed too easily. That's a problem that slowly crept in over several builds, which makes their speed more effective that it's supposed to function. Aside from that, finding a formula bug in ships is like finding a needle in a haystack. It doesn't matter if you know it's there, it can still take an eternity. That requires digging through hundreds - or even thousands - of formulas to find the one that makes the error visible enough to identify and fix across the board.

Athena - 16x6lb topdeck, 8x12lb gundeck. It's a new gun loadout because of how the model is built so it's essentially a topdeck heavy ship with a supporting gundeck. We'll see how it works out.

It's not exactly being removed. It's getting a new model, and most of the stats are identical (including all of the sailing characteristics). Just updating the Triton graphically is problematic for a variety of technical reasons.

It's generally keeping it in line with where it was for SOLs before.

I don't know.
