Update

This update had been a lot of fun for me, making new ships from an excellent kit bash and creating new abilities to give each vessel something that makes it unique from the default vessel of the fleet sets.


It also had been a proof of concept of introducing ways to extended the variety of vessels the player has access to, which is something I really would like to explore in the future.

Speaking of the future, as I was developing this update I kept thinking in which way could I introduce substantial difference in between the 3 fleet sets.

At present the main differences between the fleet sets are their looks and the physical placement of their weapon ports. Not very substantial, I must admit!

So my thinking is the following I will create a set of modifiers for each vessel set that every of their vessels will inherit in the form of a special module slot.

This dedicated module slot will hold the fleet set specific modifiers effecting the base stats of the vessel. Nothing new here, this is often the way to distinguish between different factions.

But my thinking is that this special modifier module could be recovered from destroyed enemy vessels getting your hand on their modifier that you can retrofit your vessel with if you wish.

Let me know what you think! Its merely an idea at this point, I look forward to your input!
