No, but this is!

(Well, War Witch did imply that it would involve more end game stuff, so I shouldn't have become interested in 19.5 anyway.)

Ah, of course. 'Alpha strike' is the Navy's version of the term 'strike package', which usually refers to a group of aircraft with different capabilities and armaments deployed on a single attack mission. |

I remember alpha strikes from my Mechwarrior days. That basically meant firing every single weapon equipped on your 'Mech at once to inflict maximum damage. Good times.

From Second Measure's intro post:
Now that many of you have begun your ascension to Incarnate, well be releasing the Rare and Very Rare tiers of the Alpha Slot in just a few short weeks to help you get a leg up on the launch of Issue 20.Looks like Rares and Very Rares are in 19.5.
Positron had said from quite near the start of the I19 info that the slots and their tiers don't always have to be in an Issue.

And of course the water treatment facility would be the only safeguard against that. Oops. |

Jay hinted at something like that with his cryptic posts, and I think it was Second Measure that said they'd soon be giving us a "pretty wild look". |

Who cares? Tankers still won't be 100% resistant to all damage and their attacks still won't cause the servers to crash so why bother?

Wow, i figured the eagle-headed thing was a fan mock-up. Looks like fun!

I don't expect Issue 20 until around anniversary time, so it's nice to know there's something coming to fill that gap. We definitely need the next Alpha Slot tiers, it's kind of annoying being stuck at Uncommon.
