Good Evening Stardock,

It's been a little over a month now since the Crusade launch, is there a time table set for when the Bazaar (Merc's) will get an overhaul as there are some really expensive (weak), although discription says strong ships, which by the time you got to the final stage of the game the player can make ships much more powerful and less expensive.  Plus there are still several other Merc's that the Crusade expansion makes obsolete such as the super Constructor that gives 5 free modules, what's the point?  Right now many of the Merc's are useless or a waste.

Also any update on when custom factions will be brought back for MP games?  I know this has been discussed that it will be happening eventually but, it would be nice to know if eventually is soon (with-in a month) or soon (with-in this quarter) or soon (this year).  Maybe even sorry guys this won't be until the final expansion?

Thanks,
