Thoughts?
All of these are kinda disappointing. Don't get me wrong, these updates are nice, but they kinda take away the sense of Limited. Let's take the Frosty for example, and compare it to when it first came out versus the V2-H, back in December 2014.
Now, looking at the comparison chart, anyone would choose the Frosty over the V2-H for a lead ship, no doubt about it; it even has the same build time to top everything off. This is the prime idea of a Limited Hull, almost everything is better to start with, and even build times. The prize of the Frosty at it's release was 40 million, the cost of the V2-H at its release was 5.5 million.
Now, the Limited version doesnt quit compare to the normal version anymore. The Frosty now just seems like a 'R5' version of the normal V2-H. The last time they were both offered together was in the December Raid store, at 15 million for the Frosty, and 3 million for the V2-H. A 12 million price difference, which is even less now considering that the V2-H can be obtained in campaigns and foundry. The new version doesnt really give any consentive towards getting it, seeing that it has mainly better weight and longer thermal for 3 days extra build time.
Rise of the Warlords
The next raid arc, featuring Reavers, is here until December. The ships to use? Subs and only Subs. Similar to the Reaver Armadas and the last TLC we had, you should know what to expect. One general tip I have, don't expect to leave each battle without damage. The death weapons cause a good amount of Plasma damage, and you cant avoid it. Don't clean out your entire schedule for the day hoping to hit big and only win, unless you are willing to spend a couple coins.

Kixeye has changed the Naming of the targets from Set A-C, S to Tiers now, ranging from 6 to 3. The point values have increased for Tier 3, dropped for Tier 4, Tier 5 is the same, and Tier 6 has dropped in total points too.
- Target 100 - 1,250,000 Points
- Bonus - 2,450,000 Points
- Total - 3,700,000 Points
- Target 71 - 350,000 Points
- Target 73 - 400,000 Points
- Target 75 - 500,000 Points
- Bonus - 1,350,000

The point increase for the Tier 3 is up by 100,000 points, which is a very welcomed increase. The prizes though for the lower levels? Not much.
Prizes
This is a large stat block...
With Bloodthirst, 100% defense handicap, huge Penetrating, Explosive, and Radioactive deflection; this hull fits in with other Conqueror hull of this day. Making for a powerful one shot tank, with its Overload ability. I would imagine this being used in conjunction with either Citadel or Vendetta fleets, posed outside the channel. Send the fury in and watch the mortars ran. Or going with a blitz tactic, stack them and rush at once. Sending one in at a time would waste the Overload, seeing as that it has 10,000 deflection to Explosive weapons, the majority of splash weapons. Base turrets wont last long too with the new weapon..
Low weight and high damage, but with a long build time of 11 hours. A little clarification of the "Death Weapon" Remember those pools of fire that pop up after you sink a ship with throwers or mortars with Insiderny shells attached? Yeah, it's the same. These are the basic stats for it; which look pretty good for an aftereffect. Any ships within a 60 range will be hurt by this, and any ship beyond that ship to a max of 20 will be dealt half damage.
I'll make a cute little text diagram to show
X------------Y~~~~Z
X = Death Weapon Explosion
Y = Ship out at 60 range, gets full damage
Z = Ship out at 80 range, gets half damage
Now, because Z is within the 60 (range) + 20 (splash) it receives damage. But if Z was at 85 range, 60 + 25, he would not receive damage
X------------Y~~~~~Z
X = Death Weapon Explosion
Y = Ship out at 60 range, gets full damage
Z = Shio out at 85 range, receives no damage.
Now for the Special 
This special is very similar to the Hydroxide Coated Barrels, increasing the Multi Shot and Corrosive Damage. You replace this with the Barrel System to get more a larger Multi Shot increase, helpful when chasing down fast ships, but for base attacking? Stick with dealing more damage.
Now for the general Prize list!

What does this mean?
Kixeye is trying to Protect the lower leveled players, honorable, but doing it in a messed up way. Not every player has the technology, I.E. hellwraiths to deal with Tier 6. Also, how is Level 80 too powerful for tier 5, A set?
Here is a forum post, go complain here pirates
As always, Film at 11
