Ultimately we're going to implement ships that are relevant. We have lower Tier Premiums and there's nothing stopping us from making more.

Karstodes is correct in pointing out that lower tiers are less played, so if you are very passionate about lower tier ships being implemented the best course of action is thinking of how to make them more integrated in the game.

I believe @ArIskandirdrafted an idea to encourage more play in the earlier Tier ships, for instance. I imagine he'd be up for talking to you about it.

Ultimately, while everything could be on the table, the table only has so much room. The more enticing a pitch you can make for something to have some of that space, the better.
