Well, seems kind of pointless to make different ship designs if you are just going to make 1 big one that does everything. But also seems like a big waste of resources to build such a big ship at times when you only need it for 1 job, and a smaller ship can get the job done with no problem. Which one of those ships do you use for mining iron? I have never really had a problem with pirates or bandits. Just one of my frigates is able to take on a group of pirates 1v10 and win without much trouble. I normally send 2 of them to fight a group of pirates just to be on the safe side. But my war frigate is a very deadly little ship. For all my working ships (mining, salvaging, cargo, etc...) I don't use the frame first method. I normally box all the parts I need together then build an outer hull and round the edges a bit so it doesn't look like an ugly brick. This ends up giving them a more industrial/work ship kind of look where they have somewhat of an overall box like shape, but still look nice with added rounded parts. For my warships I always use the 'frame first' method because I want them to look completely different from a box like shape. Here is a picture of the base framework for my frigate with a few internal parts. The finished version looks way cooler, and I plan to post screen shots of all my ships on here someday, but I want to finish my Destroyer first. It's a good thing the game keeps a long list of auto-saves. 😉
