Upgrades were obvious -- guns and bombs +1
samgunn was right -- speed was cut by 300 when carrying a flag. Even with the flag, Javs would were still noticeably faster than other ships.
20 noticed another downgrade in that it cost 25% more to fire weapons.
That was it -- no other changes. Experiments and user testing need to be done to determine actual impact of settings changes rather than speculation of what they might do to game play. This test showed that the downgrades were a little too strong, but not much.
btw, flags are back to normal Jackpot settings -- i.e. no upgrades/downgrades -- the reward of jp flags is to win the flag point jackpot via your freq gaining all 8 flags at once. The JP flag game after MoC last week was a good success -- I'd like to run this regularly if possible.

Why is the length of time mines are active still reduced? The reasoning last reset was because of the flag upgrade. Now that the flag upgrade is gone why is the timer for mines being active not back to its normal setting?
