First came the FR/DE

Hull research starts with FR/DE for every race. It means each race has either a FR or DE pod.
Then only can the races choose to specialize in smaller (FI/CO) or bigger (CR/BS) ships. Both those researches take the same time to complete.
Then the races can go research the remaining classes or more interestingly specialize even further into smaller than FI/CO - bigger than CR/BS classes.
The new classes wouldn't be firing (no anti new class required) but bring other advantages:

- Smaller than FI/CO is the DRONE. Swarms of drones confuse enemy targeting system, making it lose a percentage of its firepower (max capped but otherwise depending on the value of the drone fleet). Eta of a drone is the same as FI/CO as there is no use in sending drones alone.

- Bigger than CR/BS is the MOTHERSHIP. Such a monster transports any class of ship. The capacity is calculated in fleet value. A Mothership travels at CR/BS speed but the amount of ships transported is hidden (including pods) until they are released in the target galaxy (eta5).

First those 2 ships can only travel incluster, an extra Travel Time research is needed to allow them to travel in universe.

Re: First came the FR/DE

I'd like to see an even bigger ship class called the "death star" that took heaps of resources but could kill an entire fleet automatically.


ps. don't you realise that most of your ideas and suggestions are overblown and unplayable?

That's your opinion, I obviously disagree.

Re: First came the FR/DE

personally i quite like the idea of researching fr/de pods first before you can research di/co pods

Re: First came the FR/DE

I did think about multiple skill levels for each meta ship (FI/CO + FR/DE + CR/BS).

Each meta ship type has 3 levels of research, each level taking longer than the last, each level gives you 5% bonus to either production/damage/armor/cost per level, which one is up to the devs.

Example techtree.

Name Time
Light Ship Class Training I 2400
Light Ship Class Training II 4800
Light Ship Class Training III 7200
Medium Ship Class Training I 2400
Medium Ship Class Training II 4800
Medium Ship Class Training III 7200
Heavy Ship Class Training I 2400
Heavy Ship Class Training II 4800
Heavy Ship Class Training III 7200

All level 1 meta ship type researchs are active at the start, so you can train all equally and not be as effective as going along a specific route.
