I'm hoping the next step will be to begin to tweak stats. It would be cool to be able to mount something like a freighter engine on a SHF or light transport.
Not only that but augment the speeds finally. Maybe a Small, med and heavy engine, each would be a percentage higher in speed/hp than the standard 350 or 395/400. And why not make them targetable?
"Target their engines". This would be awesome. Plenty of times you're fighting someone that may not be able to destroy you but CD you and prevent you from leaving, like if you're in a larger ship, and also can't hit the other ship, like a fighter/freighter. If you could target and destroy their engine and thruster they'd be stranded! You could actually get away. Also the idea of a cap vs bombers comes to mind. Typically caps don't stand much of a chance but using missiles could target engines and thrusters of their opponents, and allow for the possibility of leaving a ship dead in the water!
