[2020] Detonations are still [bleep]

^^^This.

I don't have an answer for that, because I don't develop the game modes, but I can definitely ask.

But I will say a SIGNIFICANTLY lower number of games are played in those modes vs Random.

TBH, Det's would have to have a significantly high number of occurrence to be a problem to be changed

And if we're going to remove Det's then why not remove being able to knock guns out, AA, secondaries, rudder, engines, citadels, dev strikes, etc etc etc? because they are all annoying too and happen more often...

All that being said, I do agree and have passed the request from the larger number of folks that talk about det's as being "underwhelming" because I totally agree.

It's a game mechanic that everyone has to learn to work around was the point. In gaming, and that is ANY game, there are mechanics that are not ideal to the player and we have to learn the mechanics to mitigate them and move forward.

If you are playing a competitive game and not optimizing your ship for that play, you're probably not doing right as many of the top clans will tell you there are things you MUST or WILL (for them) utilize in your set ups.

IE: Det signals.
