What's the story with the Constitution?

[Ahoy H.R. Matey]

So a while ago we got to play with the "Connie Classic", and than you very much for that, it's a delightful looking ship.

Of course, it is gimped by the stats being a copy-paste from the regular Connie, which has the dubious distinction of being a frigate classed as an SoL, that handles like an SoL, but has the firepower of a frigate and a half at most. An equivalent Bellona is a better "frigate" than the Connie is. This isn't the call to nerf Bellona, it's the gentle suggestion to buff the Connie a bit more. The very least it could have is a boost to the turn rate.

That aside though, what is the story with the "most fortunate ship"? Will Connie Classic take the place of the regular Connie? Will it be a separate entity, in which case will it have different stats? And will we finally be able to craft it? I know y'all are working on other things at the moment, but it seems that making Connie Classic at least craftable (and tweaking its stats, if we should be so lucky) should be relatively trivial considering that the hard work has already been done (with the ship being fully operable in-game and all).

Would love to know that, and I'm sure I'm not the only one. BTW, President's Day is a great occasion for something like that

Give us a craftable Connie Classic

Admin hinted that he has plans to make the connie great again. Wasa too unless my mind plays tricks on me...

Connstitution, Wasa and Wapen will get buffed according to admin but he did not say when... could be next week, could be 2022. I would simply not use those ships until then, there is simply no reason to. It really saddens me to see so many topics and threads in this forum but nothing about balance between ships except for the obligatory complains about DLC ships performance.
