I've been thinking (after seeing D!ce's great work) there are some slots that can be maybe filled as "Placeholders" with the old harvesters model, until maybe one day there would be another model found for it. I wonder is this possible, are these models still lying around somewhere? Our proposal would be:
AI "Light" Drone:
AI Frigate:
^ the AI Frigate would have something green glowy behind that would show the harvested materials being converted into energy or something, would be a nice effect.
Well it would certainly be nice to have an AI ship with a decent cargo hold. The old AI ships are kind of ugly and wouldn't be my first choice, but I guess they would do as placeholders. Something fregate-ish would be perfect so it fits the drones recipe of being between two classes. Of course this had to be discussed balance-wise.
Light Fighter aka "Mupod"> Its purpose would be mainly searching for salvage to harvest, raw and rich energy minerals to mine, and/ or repairing its unit (AI Ships) around its ZoI. Combat capabilities are slim for this little guy as its weaponry systems are replaced with mining/harvesting modules. In my opinion it should have small arms to demonstrate its sole purpose in the game.
V. H. Fighter aka "Demipod"> Found Here Main purpose of its program parameters is to establish protection to the "Demipods" that are in the area and escorting the units valuable minerals or components through their ZoI. It is known if attacked, while it is doing a solo patrol, it can hack through any anti-virus or firewalls in the ships computer system and disable its engines for few minutes to make its get-away. Its weapon system are known to fire rapid chain-gun-like bolts to its target decimating its hull in chunks. If caught, it automatically detonates to prevent any data or information of its 'Mikado' location to be stolen.
Fighter-Bomber aka "Jandupod">Not many pilots or captains that fly exploratory ships have seen them. This is because it only appears when its Hive, its main unit, is attacked. The Jandupod launches off from its main unit, "Avatar", to engage any hostile ships that the main unit is targeting. This bomber unit is known to fire a very heavy Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP) Bolt to its target. Smashing its target hull and disabling the entire ship continuously until it is no more.
Transport aka "DORT-3"> Not much information of this unit purpose. Explorers say these days it is known to fly in the deep edge of the system and vanishing from the radar as well being escorted by "Mupods" and "Demipods".
Destroyer aka "Zues"> Carrier aka "Avatar"> Mothership aka "Mikado"> [Stationary Base - Not a ship]
That's quite some work you put upon yourself. Not saying it isn't apreciated tho, in fact I'd love to see that happen. Maybe the names still need some work, they don't fit our RP that well.

Pretty sure i already said something, and even gave you an idea behind this....

This Galaxy is vast; its wonders and beauty are almost unfathomable. But the galaxy also hides dark secrets, some of which have lain dormant since the beginning of time itself. There is a danger in secrets, both in seeking and in knowing. Some things are meant to be hidden from view. Some mysteries defy understanding, and sometimes even the things we think we know are untrue. Some secrets should remain untouched.
