Not the tiny ship again....

Actually I like this idea. A slightly larger ship and a few more and different arrangement of lights might work quite well. But... some wouldn't like that either.

Frankly, it might be too late to change how the Ships work... thus why I suggested simply letting people choose the Model to use freely outta the ones unlocked, while the Model & the Stats of the Ship are separated from each other. (Meaning the Command Boosts power up the Stats, & Unlock available Models, but don't force what Model is currently used to be only the latest one unlocked, thus people get their cake & eat it too! Don't like the looks of that Medium Frigate ya just got? Stick with the Light Titan Model, or some such! )

I dunno, anything is better then the current setup. I just want to feel bad ass in a big ship, like an elite agent.

Flying around with one of those swirly red beacons that usually indicate a Legendary monster ship would be quite awesome in my book.

I increased the size of the models when you go through the 2nd and 3rd time today. It probably needs some tweaking, but it's a start.

In my opinion I would rather see the ship model upgrade happen in a more linear fashion rather than the current loop. For example one would go through all three types (light, medium, then heavy) of the same model before moving onto the next one.

I also kinda feel that the third go-around of ships is unneeded. Once you get to about 220 points in command you should just stay as the biggest ship for the rest of the game. I really don't see many players spending more than 220 points in command, not enough to justify unique models for those ships.

This is how I would like it:

0 - Light Escort
5 - Heavy Escort
11 - Light Corvette
18 - Heavy Corvette
26 - Light Frigate
35 - Heavy Frigate
45 - Light Destroyer
56 - Heavy Destroyer
68 - Light Cruiser
81 - Heavy Cruiser
95 - Light Battlecrusier
110 - Heavy Battlecruiser
126 - Light Battleship
143 - Heavy Battleship
161 - Light Dreadnaught
180 - Heavy Dreadnaught
200 - Titan
220 - Flagship

This seems balanced, I actually feel not spending enought time in a hull to fully enjoy it before going the next one

[Excalibur Bane]

Yeah, that's the best idea yet.

If this idea gets implemented, I hope we are gonna get to Respec our Crew Points so we can stick the correct amount of Points into the new working of Command Stat to get the Ship we want... If my Main loses out on his Medium Titan & doesn't get to be a Titan anymore ever again, I am going to be VERY unhappy...

My shamelessly biased opinion says that the Drakk Titan is the most awesome Drakk Ship Model of them all!

With this said, i'm using the 8 Crew Points per Level Mod, & for those that still aren't, I can't make any sense outta how ANYONE was ever supposed to ever get all 460 Points in Command for the Final Ship & EVER have enough points afterwards to work with for other Stats EVEN with help from the +Stat Medium Slot Components & Crew Members together... I have to admit that 220 Command as a Max amount of Command possible does look like a far more reasonable number... or maybe it could be worked around to 250 so 250 is the Max Base Stat for ALL Stats...? Even with this, I would still be all for combining this with the 8 Crew Points per Level Up Mod becoming Vanilla, because 5 Crew Points per Level is too freaking few Points no matter what, especially when you seriously CAN'T get away with neglected Engineering Stat without serious Power Load problems no matter what...

Edit: Hey! I just gotta idea for how to go about this:

The Update that adds this could create a Pocket Dimension that is placed a little to the lower left of the Bound Jump Gate with it's Ship Stash & Shared Stash, that has it's Pocket Dimension Entrance Graphics Color colored differently from the normal one, like perhaps Red, that we can enter. Inside is a completely Enemy-Free Zone with a special Container specifically for Holding all of our Equipped Components & Crew Members... (With a holding capacity of 33) we would store ALL Components inside it, then we could click a 'Drox Shipyard' when ready that would make our Ship disappear for a moment while a 'Searching Bar' like bar activates showing up the progress of the Ship Conversion to the new System while playing the Sound Effect ya hear when Mining a Mineable Asteroid, then when done, our Ship reappears as the first Model of the Race in the game & ALL of our currently acquired Crew Points are refunded & can then be re-spent to Respec our Ship to the new System! When done, we can then grab our Components & Crew outta the Container & Re-Equip them, get Organized, & then Exit the Pocket Dimension ready to resume the Game under the new Stat System! (& if warranted, maybe nip into our Ship/Shared Stash to grab & equip stuff that can be Equipped now that couldn't before.)
