Re: Balance opinions
Indy commanders are actually an example, along with boosters and hammers, of nerfs I've been convinced to retract or reduce.
I'm well aware of the great backlash that often generated by nerfing, so believe it or not I have employed it quite sparingly (certainly much less than IW would have had they focused more on balance, virtually all of the balance changes from dom2 to dom3 were nerfs). Further minimization is always open to consideration though.
As for drastically reducing the number of total changes, that is much less likely. The end goal is to bring all options into viability, and in a lot of cases that means incrementally improving them until they hit a usable but not abusable level. So, if there are useless boosts, I could easily be convinced to increased them, but not remove them.
