Should there be more unique ships?

[Govedo13]

Well yes more unique ships please, add flaggships as well, give bonuses for factions, however add proper penalties for them too.
Now in reality:
Devs does not like the idea much because it creates hassle for them to balance the said ships even if they are made perfect by the ship creator, if not then they need to rework them and this creates even more work.
The truth is that discovery is dying because the Dev team is too small and instead of trying to make deving more accessible to the players so much more people create content and the core Dev team only inspects the content and add it to the game if the Dev clear written criteria are fulfilled. Now they try to do everything alone and fail big time meanwhile.

Making proper tutorials, FAQs and creating criteria and procedures only would enable the players to be Devs as well, if the team is 10 times bigger we would get a way better mod with many more functions.
As long as the Devs have closed forums and only few people do the whole work we cannot expect to have quality product based on the work of selected few volunteers. The truth is that 95% of Discovery problems could be solved by simple manpower grinding also 95 % of the things that Devs refuse to do are time- consumption based. Things are possible but the people that are supposed to be doing them are just not existent in the current Dev model. By changing the Model everyone can contribute even with minor things but if we have let say 100 active contributing Devs the Main Dev team could focus only on Balance and FLHook actually.
The rest minor and time consuming tasks could be executed by the large group of contributing Devs.

Official faction players that are often accused of elitism, never deploy them and have those weird, immersion killing "fair fight/dueling" suicidal hobbies. (yes, i've seen enough of those lolduels, where house military with overwhelming force on the field willingly loses a pilot in a duel. ffs.)
