Crafted Ships

[knotty mortar]

We should be able too choose what guns we want on our crafted ships too allow full customizing and leave the Ships you can buy from the shop too stay the way it is with random shit on it thats it itll make crafting ships more worth it and more painful too loss a great ship you crafted also players seeing a spicy player made ship would be more likely too engage into pvp fights

[earnest fossil]

Yeah i liked the way it used to be where you had a base scout or whatever and could upgrade the guns by finding a rocket turret crate in raid. With all the different attributes now, like armor, speed, fins, etc., ship customization could be a lot of fun

Also let’s add another layer to it, give us ship appearances as well. Let me put a shark mouth on the side of my Baron ship or something to that effect.

There is no doubt that space combat felt better and was more prevalent when you were able to customize and craft your ships allowing whatever combo of chassis/weapon you desired. I really don't understand the reasoning behind the change to premade ships, and I sincerely hope that there will be a return to the previous format of being able to fully customize ships, even if some parts are only purchasable from the store (one example being the current flak turret) we should be allowed to put that on an interceptor or heavy frigate if we so desire. Or put a howitzer on a scout, etc etc.

While i will upvote this, because i agree customization is lacking, i dont want the meta to become "Only one gun" again, like Red Baron was with Rocket Arty. If we can have balance in the ship guns in which most/all ship guns are viable to their given strengths.

[nova karma]

perfectly reasonable expectation here, and I agree that most if not all of the ship guns should be balanced enough to be viable for space combat. some guns will obviously be better than others, but those should be harder to obtain as a consequence

[analog shard]

agreed! maybe we start having some of the higher tier guns spawn in some new crate types, or we could use the Ship Graveyard map idea to introduce a new lootable with ships and ship attachments like guns and armor/engines they had thought of adding before

[nova karma]

I really like that! I was thinking that having them spawn in loot would be a great idea as well, and should be easy to implement

I kinda like this but they also made ship variants for a reason. It’s more of a balancing thing it seems.

[ebon turret]

This I like. Having the ship graveyard spawn unique ships and styles like maybe a Marauderized Strike frigate with flak as one example

[analog shard]

going off you ship hanger loot idea would be good

[ebon turret]

Yeah. Normally I would be completely down for interchangable weapons, but with the recent added ships and flak meta I kinda want to continue to give their idea a shot
