Also, the all-LS/DS battles are awful. What’s the point of having a quasi-sandbox if we can’t theorycraft and try new things without being penalized?
It's not a sand box. It's prescribed play (feats) that penalizes experimentation (energy + disc-swapping costs). It's a mundane drag with the carrot of a new character that isn't obtainable any other way as the reason to trudge through.
TL;DR It's work. CAT is this month's paycheck.

Disc-swapping costs don't go away after you have max rewards. Sandbox ain't free. Which is why I stop playing the mode the second I've completed red crate.

Giraffe complained about LS/DS feats preventing theorycrafting. Nothing is stopping him now.

The modifiers. Can’t really theorycraft with the modifiers in place. Conquest would have great replay ability if after you earn the Red crate, you could turn off all the disks and enemy modifiers and turn them back on if you wanted. Then it would be a place to theorycraft.
The whole Conquest is one big missed opportunity. All we get to choose is which side of the one predetermined road to take, feats are annoying, datadisks are repeated in the same batch and the fun ones get removed, all battles are just the usual 5v5, no ships and they can't even add something as simple as a feat counter. It's already counted, all they have to do is show it. It's a pity, it could have been great.
Threads like this just make me sad. Players provide suggestions, feedback, ideas. CG largely ignores them, instead choosing the easier, less time-consuming "solutions". Kyno defends, rationalizes, explains away the shortcomings and we plod on to another game mode. Rinse, repeat.
Whatever. I complete all 5 sectors. I get the max rewards. The more I play conquest, the less I like it. It's a monotonous, mundane drag and becoming more so.
Kyno actually just corrected your list. You had 2, one of things you would like to see and one of things that didnt happen. You had an item on one list that belonged on the other.
What's the next game mode you speak of?
Whatever event CG decides they want us to beta-test next. Since when do you refer to yourself in the third person?
Thought I would try something new to mix it up and keep things fresh...

I think that is an excellent idea and I hope you are finding it brings you joy, friend.
Hi y'all! I can't get too much into specifics right now, but I can say that there are some changes to future Conquests in the works and we will have more details for you in the next Road Ahead.

Are you able to tell us if the road ahead is happening this month?

The biggest thing to me is variation. There are 100s of possible squads out there, I may regret saying this, but I’d love to see more variation in the squads that we fight.
I personally love conquest too, top to bottom, so any improvements are welcome.

even then you wouldnt be able to theorycraft that well cause of mods...

I really, really like this idea. After the red crate, it's a true sandbox. This is the way.
