factionized flagships

[Dusty Lens]

If I'm not mistaken 'way back then' even fighters had supernova capability. But I might be setting the wayback machine too far.

However, my second point was that the community reacts very poorly to the notion of 'restricted' items and not without undo concern. I hate to drag the beaten corpse of the recent Outcast registry debacle and the endless debates that it spawned, but no one was able to firmly put the issue of whom should deem what's restricted to who to rest.

As to making the vessel freely available, well, if it were deemed that a mobile shooting platform with the kind of maneuverability that only an X shuttle could admire is something that folks would like to see added to the mod it would have to be determined if it would be preferable to invest the energy into developing and testing such an addition, or if there would be greater merit in investigating the current capship situation and granting boosts and clarifying roles where necessary.

Personally, I'd say that there would be greater rewards reaped from giving what we have now a thorough ponderance which could very well result in an injection of steroids into the battleship class.

The current system of depreciating returns for ever more slightly boosted gains in strength system that we have in place doesn't lend to much more than a lineup of vessels that are somewhat tougher and larger transports than ships of war with strategic use and intent.

Have I become redundant yet? I imagine so.
