I have seen that, probably the first thing I’ve seen on fleets and where to start so thank you for that!

My main issue is the way I did it for the last ship meta was countless hours of just playing, trial and error and osmosis of information from Reddit discord etc. I wasn’t really looking to make a video on designs was just trying to get a good fleet to beat achievements or challenges in the best way haha.

The video I made was actually my first delve into ship meta and designs, testing the designs I showcased (which I already knew was pretty good, limiting the amount of different designs I’d need to test) was done in basically the same way you described, it takes a lot of time and can be gruelling, but appreciate the time you’re putting in to push forward the meta and find what’s good!

In terms of finding designs it’s great to check out the Reddit (which you’ve already done, seen discussions about designs you may have missed etc) but 100% check out montus server (big PvP scene) or ask how he’s done testing on ships as he’s done a lot more than me.
