I think any fuel that gets added should be a late game resource to power large ships rather than a constant drain that only bothers newbies.

No need to give them some sort of external boost, if that's what you're suggesting. Just build them that way. For example- there's no need to give the TG a boost with cannon weapons- just outfit them with stronger cannon weapons than anyone else.

I think you're misunderstanding here. A player would submit a fleet under a unified style to be used for a random faction. It wouldn't be a collection of random ships thrown together as one faction. Also, I have my doubts ANY ships that are clearly from another franchise would be added.

I'd like a zoom function, but only for sniper (Cannon/Beam, Beam/Beam) weapons, as this would add a unique use for them.

Holy wall of text, Batman. I don't have time to read all of this, but just going by the stuff in bold- a lot is already planned. Missions, for example, are planned.

The best choice of cannon for nearly all situations is Cannon/Cannon. Higher RoF, identical DPS, and better scaling as an anti-block weapon than higher alpha cannons due to the diminishing returns on cannon block removal make it the best choice of cannon except in a small handful of roles that...

Third time's a charm?

I think a cool way to do procedural factions would be to have them have random weapons and hull colors/types. First, have 2 "random" hulls- primary and secondary. These can only be accessed by commands/creative mode. When a procedural faction is created, it designates a "primary" and...

You need to increase the raytrace count for lights.

Have you filed a bug report? The devs don't know something is wrong unless you tell them, usually.

All the more reason to teach players about PD before they start running into pirates. I think an AI (literally AI- they're robots or holographic AIs or something) faction that has no problem with using warhead kamikaze tactics would be cool.

I meant more for figuring out general lore. It's cool to learn that the TG prefers cannons. What weapons will Pirates/Scavengers and Outcasts use?

So, what you're saying is, you DON'T think new players should be given ANY examples to copy or improve upon? That sounds like a very bad idea to me.

You make some good points. I think it might be a good idea to have a pair of weak (plain cannon) PD turrets on lower end TG ships. An average player will see this and copy the design. A SMART player will upgrade them to cannon/cannon.

Yes, standard armor is basically the only protection it has. But wouldn't the TG try and keep costs down and just use basic, anyway? The ship's main protection is that it can run away easily.

PD turrets are not weapons. That'd be like saying that a dozen shield caps on a ship are weapons. Honestly, if the TG is trying to keep costs down, why don't freighters have no shields and only basic hull? I can't tell from the distance the picture is at to see whether that stuff is basic or...
