Shipbuilding/customization
Published on Sunday, December 12, 2021 By
The current shipyard and tech really removes options for customizing your shipbuilding.
1). Is there a tech that lets us minimize the technology? So that we can get more items on a specific size of ship, e.g., get 4 items on a small ship (instead of just 3). So that you can add an interstellar drive to that little tiny or medium ship once you get some miniaturization tech.
2) Restricting each ship size to a set number of components instead of space, with each component taking up space, makes it impossible to customize good ships. Similarly, limiting ships to having only one type of component, e.g., only one titanium armor, prevents you from being creative and designing ships for specific situations. I used to love to add extra engines to a ship class to make my Quick Reaction Force. Also like to make specialized ships from the large Cargo hulls, filled with engines and sensors. Or faster colonizers so you can reach a good world before the AI does.
Might be too late to change this back, but i really preferred shipbuilding in previous versions of GC.
