Explain the stat crunch like I'm five (reddthat.com)

I don't pay a ton of attention to star citizen but I keep hearing about a "stat crunch" or "normalization".

Can someone explain that to me in basic terms?

One thing extra to note: the one component that still makes a difference are the quantum drives.

Their status did get normalized somewhat, but each one can still be very different and they all change your gameplay up quite a bit. I don't change many other components out, but I almost always change drives.

True!

Generally for Size 1 people pick up an Atlas because it lets you go between planets without the need to refuel. Unless you're trying to intercept for PvP, it has such better efficiency than anything else that it's a pretty easy choice.

For size 2, the XL-1 and Yeager have been clear fan-favorites, but with the stat crunch the Crossfield is also a good option. Those are the only three with sub-5min travel times from Crusader to Microtech.
