Appoco: some kind of announcement of this change would've been nice. People shouldn't have to rely on rumour to learn who to talk to to influence the ship stats.

I think this is a missed opportunity. The forums are the place to have public discussions about issues that affect everyone. Sure, people can PM you, but that's not ideal. It centralizes decision making, giving you far more power than the individual people talking to you, because it isolates people. It's easier to speak out if there's a bunch of people to agree with you. Additionally, there's a barrier to entry, whereby some people might feel discouraged from approaching you. Speaking out in public is easier.

Monroe used to keep a fairly tight ship, but things seem to have gotten somewhat more slack of late. I agree that's a bad thing. SD is not AD. If the only thing you (general you) have to contribute is bickering and claptrap, this is not the place for you. A couple of keephauls might do this place good, to be frank.

If one guy said to x, the other guy would yell don't do x, do y. Than the next guy would say don't do x or y, but go for z. Opinions are a dime a dozen which doesn't make selecting the feedback you listen to easy.
You can't make everyone happy, but as long as you're getting very varied criticism, I'd take that as a sign that you're on the right track. It's when you get the same complaints from everyone that you have to start worrying.

It's good to have this known so far in advance.

But one of the biggest problems is if i were to put the top 10 stat guys in a room, i bet they couldn't all agree on the color of an organge, let alone what a new standard should be.
Please don't feel like you need to set up some kind of democratic process to select the stats, whether only for a select few or universal. As long as the process by which you've selected a set of stats is reasonable and transparent, you'll be fine. This process need not be formal, nor identical every round. It seems to me like that's just creating unnecessary work for yourself.

This is another thing the forums can help with, by the way, by facilitating a public record of the choices made, and the reasons behind them.
